Bookshelf Porn
Posted by AllieB on November 1, 2010
I’ve discussed my love for reading and rooms dedicated solely to books. One day I hope to have a personal library of my very own – I think I’d want one of those ladders to cruise around on. I am reminded of my Disney Character alter ego, Belle of Beauty and the Beast – we share a fondness for reading, re-reading, and book ladders…as well as a warm and loving, nonjudgmental heart, of course.
Anyway, this photo blog, Bookshelf Porn, collects images of rooms of books – stores, personal libraries, random bookshelves, and it’s awesome. I guess I should also mention that is stricly G-rated; other apt monikers could be Bookshelf Paradise, Bookshelf Haven, Bookshelf Orgy…just kidding. It’s self-described as being:
“Porn for book lovers. A photoblog collection of all the best bookshelf photos for people who *heart* bookshelves.”
Karl Lagerfield’s is the only celebrity one I’ve stumbled upon yet – it’s…thorough.
I prefer Diane von Furstenberg’s home library, which I share again below. It just emanates serenity. Having a room like this to come home to on a Manic Monday would effectively cancel out any and all mania – before long I might even come to refer to it as Mellow Monday…??

Happy All Saints’ Day, and a very happy birthday to you, Penn Badgley.

I see many happy days ahead for you in your future home library. And many diasterous accidents for you with your book ladder.

You make a very valid point, but I like to live dangerously – livin’ on the edge….in my room of books.

Is Karl Lagerfeld’s book wall paper or actual books? looks fake?

I wanted to edit my post to make it in English, but it wouldn’t let me. I mean is his wall of books wall paper or actual books?

I guess I could’ve included this in the post – I think they’re real, per the site:
Karl Lagerfeld’s books cover every wall of his studio from the ground, up two stories, to the skylights. Plus he owns the bookstore that is right next door.
