Brutus #1045 We Love Books Vol. 3

Brutus #1045 titled 'We Love Books Vol. 3' continues the magazine’s ongoing exploration of reading culture, focusing on personal bookshelves as reflections of taste, values, and lived experience.

Following the 2023 and 2024 editions, Brutus visits the shelves of authors, manga artists, actors, and creatives across a wide range of disciplines. Under the theme 'The Ideal Bookshelf,' contributors reflect on how their collections are shaped, what role books play in their daily lives, and the ideas they encounter through reading.

More than an inventory of titles, this issue offers an intimate look at individual worlds through the medium of books. The included Book in Book, a collection of essays titled “The Master of My Bookshelf,” further expands on the relationship between people and the libraries they build around themselves.
