57 Books on Hank Green’s Bookshelf

Do you spy on other people’s bookshelves? I don’t snoop in bathroom cabinets, I go straight to the bookcases. I love to see the individual combination of books on someone’s shelves – spotting your favorites there, or discoving something new that you never knew you wanted to read. Book collections are often eclectic and personal; unexpected or odd or insightful. So every week when I watch Vlogbrothers (the YouTube videos made by John Green and his brother Hank Green), I find myself peering over their shoulders and spying on their bookshelves.
