Pet peeve

So I have sort of a side interest in design/interior decorating, which I don't really bring up here because who cares? Especially as it hasn't actually translated into me making my apartment attractive.

But a pet peeve: a very popular thing with design bloggers right now is the idea of organizing book shelves by color. Like so:


AGHHH! I HATE THIS.

I get extremely irritated. Anyone who organizes their books by color cannot really love books. This is just absurd. It's treating them like decorative objects, and I get really upset by it, and frankly, I think my collection (organized by genre, then broken down by time period or subject) shows that I've actually read the books and thought about what's inside them--not just bought a show library to look pretty. Grrr. Plus, books look great as it is! I love the cheerful cluttered library look.
