If I go to someone's house and I see them using books solely as decoration, propped in that way where you couldn't even read them if you wanted to with vases on top of them etc, I cringe so hard. They think it makes them look sophisticated when in reality it makes them look completely illiterate.

The only acceptable books-as-decorations are coffee table books

I once wanted to pick up someone's coffee table book and it was not even a book it was a box made to look like a book with remotes inside.

I think that's an acceptable way to hide some remotes.

I would love if the fair book was called The History Of Remotes
