Oh, oh, will someone make me one (or all) of these?

Best. Valentine’s. Video. Ever.
Looks like the literary residents of LA’s Skylight Books are having a hard time resisting the passionate spirit of Valentine’s Day!

“Stacks” is an outdoor bookshelf installation by artist David Harper made of books and wood.
The theme for Harper’s installation: “these trees shall be my books,” comes from William Shakespeare’s “As You Like It,” but the goal of the work goes far beyond Orlando’s wish to immortalize Rosalind. Harper seeks to immortalize the love of knowledge, and the homage owed to the living things we use to create stores of knowledge for all to study. “STACKS” captures the transformation from living tree to store of knowledge.

Not sure how this happened and I didn’t notice it until I got home, but the three books I bought today are all in the same color scheme and have weird half-faces on their covers. Eerie.

“ So, when the weather is—as it mostly is—wet and windy, I’ll stay indoors over a book, leaning closer and closer as light dwindles, to scan it by that peculiar sheen of rain-light and leaf-light and stone-light leaching through the big window.

“ The greatest gift is the passion for reading. It is cheap, it consoles, it distracts, it excites, it gives you knowledge of the world and experience of a wide kind. It is a moral illumination.

Favorite Book, 12yrs old
The following is excerpted from the rough draft of an application for private school.
The latest book I can relate to is White Fang by Jack London. It’s the entrancing story of the struggle of a wild dog/wolf who was hurt physically and emotionally by humans, animals and nature. Being passed off from brutal owner to brutal owner, he learns to become a great dog fighter. Because he has been hurt so many times, he has put up his own walls. These walls stop any love from entering. It’s very hard for him to trust anyone or anything. It appeals to me because I can relate to it so much. It makes me respect more of nature and the wild. It was such a good book, I couldn’t put it down.
I didn’t get accepted. Instead, I went on to become a bookseller where I get paid to make up stuff like this.
