Whenever I go to someone's house I always look at their library - do they have one, what type of books do they read, do we share any interests or authors. Have they read something I'm aiming to read. Sometimes it's interesting just to see which books were bought but never opened. Sometimes even the way the books have been arranged gives a interesting perspective: randomly, by date purchased, by category, by author or sometimes arranged like Russian dolls by size. Mostly I think I just like to see that people value the concept of books.
One of the major flaws in ereaders is that I can't do this and I now have no idea what makes other people tick. I wondered if anyone would like to take a picture of their own pbook library and perhaps offer a little description? I'll start with a small picture of a few bookshelves and I'll admit to only putting the more interesting novels in them while the more trashy lit gets hidden in more out of the way bookshelves about the house and then all the IT books, hard science and chess books etc go up into the loft:
