Why not put the book across the two lower metal post-thingies. Then it makes a shelf. Then you can get rid of ugly rubberband and the two upper post-thingies.
In keeping with my philosophy of recycle and re-use, I already do this in my bedroom with giant nails and used condoms. Really helps set the right mood, too.
@Jakooboo the Slightly Miffed...: Pegboard on the living room wall hmmm? Trying to decide if that makes me think of college dorm decor, or the possibilities for play time if it was at the head of the bed.
The largest structure available includes a secret passage in the bottom to take you to the tomb of unfinished periodicals -- mummified in late editions of the Seattle P.I., and certain to be raided for the riches in a couple hundred years.
I could actually see the new library in downtown Seattle using a design like this. While not ideal in utilitarian usefulness, it is artsy enough to have at least one wall with it - and clearly says "we can display our books in a way that there is no way in hell you will ever get to the good ones at the top of the pyramid".
@tok3ninja: Or, maybe he's the next step in human evolution. Texas is our second most populous state after all. It's just a matter of time before we're all talking like that... or on death row.
@Rabid Penguin: Ahh... you guys are the same people that every time they ask where I am (while working the phones here at my lovely call center), I say Texas, then they ask if I've lived there long, I respond with the fact that I was born and raised here, then they come back with the ol', "But you don't SOUND like you're from there!" *sigh*
Because we all sound like the backwoods yokels who hang out in the hollers near Louisiana... and we all have ranches with tons of horses and cows and oil rigs all over the place. And the entire state is a desert that is, in fact, strikingly similar to the desert just about 50 miles east of Los Angeles, as crazy as that is. Did I mention we all walk around all day in huge cowboy hats and gaudy boots? Totally.
@NightElfMohawk: Nope. I'm not one of those people. If I'm talking to someone at a call center and English is their first language, I just count my blessings.

I have a wall in my house covered in pegs that I loop straps around to put stuff on... Last Olympics I did the colored rings...
