This makes no sense, you'd have only what you're currently reading lyring around (~4 books tops), the rest of your collection should be sitting on a shelf. And since he periodically makes videos about literature it's a completely valid stylistic choice to film with his shelf behind him, that's like getting mad at a teacher for filming with a blackboard behind him
