The Great Bookcase Experiment

Posted on 21:48 by gaurav kumar
This past fall, my friend Eric arranged his books in order of color. At first it seemed a little OCD, but his bookcase actually looked really good and aesthetically pleasing. (It's also an interesting approach to treat the whole bookcase as an object.) And now suddenly everyone seems to be doing it (including the people in this amazing flickr set).

So I decided to give it a try. I put them in correct rainbow order...and then got that insanely annoying kids' song stuck in my head about how to sing a rainbow.

Anyway, my bookcase looks so much better now! Maybe OCD isn't so bad after all.
