Yahoo! Picks - bringing you the best of the Web since 1995

Since 1993, photographer Nina Katchadourian has been lurking in libraries and scoping out friends' bookshelves in the hopes of finding book titles that work together as a sentence (or several). To date, she has created 130 such "clusters," many of which are available for perusal on her web site. The results often read like irreverent haiku:

All the Presidents Men
Pissing in the Snow
With No Fear of Failure

Not that this is all just fun and games. The Athenaeum Arts and Music Library in La Jolla, C.A. opened their stacks to our sort-happy shutterbug. And in 2004, the Strindberg Museum allowed her to play with the Swedish writer's texts. We loved the images of the sorted Scandinavian spines, but our hearts belong with the dash of humor that comes with the occasional self-help book:

Hamlet
What's Eating You?
Hey, Man! Open Up and Live!
