Like that of any good bibliophile, your bookshelf seems to fill up on its own. Bind its contents together to create strange new books -- books with titles so bad that you can finally bear to get rid of them. Comment with your best anagrams, and with your high scores! cakerug has the title so far with 415.06.

Left/Right arrow keys: select books

Hold Z while moving: swap adjacent books

Hold X while moving: bind adjacent books

Enter: confirm your anagram

Escape: cancel your anagram

A new book comes in each time the hand on the clock goes around. You can press Enter to add one yourself.

Done in Unity/C#. Also used FL Studio, Audacity, Photoshop, and Illustrator. Recorded the sound effects by thumping some books together. Thanks to Kevin Atkinson for the parts-of-speech index, C.J. Kimberlin for the easing functions, and Peter Norvig for the compilation of the one-third-of-one-million most common English words.
