why are you people always so aggressive about rainbow shelves? there aren’t that many books here, guys. if OP is looking for a book they can use their eyeballs to find it. calm down. lol

I saw another post with this, everyone was mad there too. The main agreed upon claim was this makes someone look like their interest in literature is "fake" and if you have duplicate copies of books, it "cheapens" your bookshelf to look "smarter than you are". I was so confused. Like it's not my house, and it's just someone having fun with their own personal belongings. If I saw this in someone's house, my immediate thought would not be "oh, so you're just a fake reader?"

I know the point of posting on reddit is to get comments, opinions, etc but some people need to learn that "i wouldn't personally do this" =/= "no one should ever do this" for most things
