I was having a sort out of my internet bookmarks and came across every book in Phil Elyrum’s house . It’s from 2007, but it’s still wonderful.

When I’m compelled to attend a party at someone’s house, I always check out the books on the shelves. (If the person doesn’t have shelves of books I re-evaluate our relationship.) This page was like being allowed to peruse someone’s library without the prerequisite of having to form and maintain a relationship with said person. In other words-I wish everyone I know would do this so I could easily work out if we had anything in common to discuss. Forget telling me your likes and dislikes-what books and authors do you love/loathe?

[Phil Elvrum is a member of a band called Mount Eerie that produces some of the most interesting and unique music I’ve heard. I’m rubbish at describing music so here’s a description of how he works from Wikipedia: “Phil Elvrum is known and noted for his manipulation of analog recording devices and unique recording approach. His records have a distinct, natural sound. Most of the Microphones catalog was recorded on a broken 16 track reel to reel tape machine while his recent material has been recorded on an 8 track reel to reel.” Really, it’s amazing.]
