From Oscar Wilde’s gaol bookcase, Napoleon’s travelling library, the books on the International Space Station and Marilyn Monroe’s private library, Bin Laden’s bookshelf to the books most frequently left in hotels, from prisoners’ favourite books to MPs’ most borrowed books – lists are proof that a person’s bookcase tells you everything you need to know about them, and sometimes more besides.
