>Osho, an Indian mystic who died in 1990, reportedly had a library of 100,000 volumes (possibly making it the world's largest private library) in his "Lao Tzu library" in Poona, India. The library occupied a number of corridors in his residence. Pictured is the central room, where the most valuable parts of his collection resided on glass shelves behind sliding glass doors and with mirrors placed behind the books. His philosophy was that "two books of the same size or color were not to be placed next to each other, so the effect is that of waves going up and down, adding a lighter impression of the packed shelves than usually seen in libraries."
