Stop-Motion Thing of the Day: Crazeddadman and his wife (crazedmomwoman?) are back (previously), taking their stop-motion bookcase organizing skills to the next level at Type Books in Toronto.
Everything you see here can be purchased at Type Books. Grayson Matthews generously composed the beautiful, custom music. But none of it could have been done without all the volunteer hands who shelved and reshelved books all night, every night.

Reason number 106754 that I love Toronto. And books.

Unusual Jewelery of the Day: Jeweler Jeremy May crafts one-of-a-kind “literary jewels” using selections of pages from books neatly removed and laminated to form the desired piece.
Each piece is impossible to replicate, and is unique to the wearer. The beauty of the jewels extends within the piece: text and images pass all the way though the object, only exposed at the surfaces – giving a tantalising glimpse of the book within.

Truly awesome, but you have to destroy a book for it? Not sure I’m okay with that. I’d want a ring made from my favorite book, but I’d never let my favorite book be destroyed.](http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l7yyhiEvbI1qzpwi0o1_500.jpg)

Lots of reblogging from me today. Sorry, I’ll work on more original stuff, but this was a must reblog.
(I might add a few things to this mug, but I’m not sure they’d all fit. Might have to go on a beer stein - one of the other forms of liquid happiness.)

I love this. I love who did this.fuck the books, we should burn the actors.
The concept of burning books still disturbs me, but somehow this seems right…
It was a great Easter day, if for no other reason than the fact that I finally have a copy of Watership Down to read. I have wanted to read this for years, but I’ll admit that the big final reason was because I saw it in a recent episode of Lost (Sawyer had it on his dresser in the side-timeline).

what would your favorite book be?
Tough one - I’m not sure I can name just one.
Orson Scott Card’s Ender’s Game is a big favorite, of course The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, American Gods by Neil Gaiman, Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings series, and an odd one to this list, but The Power of Myth by Joseph Campbell and Bill Moyers.
I honestly read more than just sci-fi and fantasy, but these are hands-down favorites.
Edit: And anything by Terry Pratchett.
