  • The0, on 11/16/2008, -12/+660That's cool, but how do you get to the books on the inside?
  • anagoge, on 11/16/2008, -6/+508You have to divide by 0.
  • CrossP, on 11/16/2008, -6/+212It would be better as a mobius strip
  • svivian, on 11/16/2008, -0/+194Q: Why did the chicken cross the Möbius strip?
    A: To get to the same side.
  • theseaman, on 11/16/2008, -2/+194It's actually an 8. The artist was trying to say theres only 8 books worth reading. I'm assuming he's referring to the first 8 Goosebumps books.

  • mousy, on 11/16/2008, -2/+77You mean "It would be pretty useless as a mobius strip"?
  • inactive, on 11/16/2008, -7/+78What's the last functional, useful thing any artist ever made?
  • uncwidiot, on 11/16/2008, -2/+73Looking at the large view you can see that there is no back on the shelf, so the books are accessible from inside and out.

  • allothersnsused, on 11/16/2008, -0/+21I remember reading somewhere that RL Stine wrote one Goosebumps book a month. I think its ridiculous that the American public (namely women and those over the age of 11) continue to ignore such literary genius.
  • djphatjive, on 11/16/2008, -2/+22Wow, A circle book case, wow.
