Many of us are doing this.
Can someone explain why there’s a need to have a load of books behind you? What is it with these nob heads in the media?

Maybe these nob heads actually have offices at home with small libraries? If my wife went on webcam/zoom/skype right now you would see our bookcase behind her. Not to much highbrow stuff but full shelves with a few reference and history books sprinkled in.
I'm sure if Lohengrin (and a few others) went on cam they'd have plenty of books in view too.
Reading isn't only for nob heads y'know! | |

If people have a home office (as the types likely to be interviewed in TV may well have) then having a bookshelf or two is hardly unusual.
What are people expecting? Flying ducks like Hilda Ogden? |  |

What's with these people who's craft is through words having books containing words?
No idea. Must be voodoo  |  | | |

Is it suddenly bad to have books in your house? Like others have said, any space that is designated as an office in the home is likely to have books in it.
Although I am cynical enough to believe that some make sure only the 'best' books are on display and their mass market paperbacks are out of sight.
I'm alternating between working at the kitchen table or a desk in our spare bedroom. It's a tiny room which we use as a multi-purpose room rather than have a bed in here. If I was to have a webchat now, you'd see a small selection of our vast boardgame collection in a shelving unit behind me (the books are in other rooms). I shudder to think what Rockin would think of me... |  |

I look down on anyone who hasn't transitioned to an e-Reader. 
Think I must have donated not far off 300-400 books to the PDSA shop in Morriston when I last moved house. Couldn't go back to having that much clutter around now. | |

There are books behind me on shelves so if I was on a webcam you would see them. Secret is keep the porn on the lower shelves. |  | | |

Someone told me that a Lloyd’s group call centre and another big company, Tui, were considering making the current ‘working from home’ arrangement permanent for some employees. |  | | |

Ex-librarian so treat e-readers with horror. Possibly makes me a 21st century Luddite. | |

Nah. I've got friends younger than me who shudder at the thought of moving from books. | |

Yes but your bookshelf is probably covered in jizz instead. You’ll have a lot of questions to answer if a visitor plucks a copy of Schindler’s Ark from the shelf and it becomes stuck to their fingers. | |

Well either I would be in my son's den/gaming room (ex garage) with a Stranger Things poster or in his bedroom (as quiet) with a blue Ikea wardrobe. | | | |

I use an e-reader but my wife is retro, prefers 'proper books' My reader has dozens of books on it, I actually read some of them. | |

My wife always has a library book on the go but she's just run out after a session of panic borrowing when it was announced our library was closing for lockdown p. Now she's having to use a tablet to read downloads which are free via her library membership. She hates it, says it's not natural. |  | | |

I don't know how anyone can use an e-reader instead of a book.
I love the feel of a book, the smell of a book, even the old tatty ones with curled up edges. There's something comforting in picking up a book. |  |

I gave up on “hard copy” books some years ago. I used to feel exactly as you did but with a bit of perseverance I got over it. Much prefer my kindle now. |  |

It's also impossible to get rid of it off there. Or at least I can't work out how to do it.
Like the chip on his shoulder. | |
