Book as souvenir...and then some....

Gawker has an interesting take on Seth Godin's "book as souvenir" idea here. What are bookshelves actually FOR? Are they to display the books you've actually read? Are they to display books you want to read/intend to read/think you might be a better person if you were reading? Are they to impress people? A little of everything?

And what happens when we're all about the Kindle or its equivalent? Yesterday I was in Mike Shatzkin's office - he's a huge Kindle fan - and yet he's got wall-to-wall bookshelves with what seem like every single baseball book ever written. What are his bookshelves for?
