Work Bookshelves

Is this not the saddest bookshelf you've ever seen?

It just appeared one day on the top floor of the shared building I work in. I think someone dumped it out of their office and ever since it turned up people have been leaving their out of date computer books and management manuals on the shelves. Look how empty it is, the books look so lonely, swamped by all that space. Books are social creatures, they need to be with big heards of their own kind!

I keep wanting to perform an intervention and put some novels on its shelves but sadly our building is the kind of establishment where 50% of the people eat their lunch in front of their computers every day (and really it's a good thing they do because there are about three tables to sit at in the communal areas and people who want to hold meetings outside of their offices scowl at you if they can't find a seat).

Does anyone else slightly wince looking at this picture, or am I just over-reacting?
