In two previous galleries (click here and here to view them), the depicted bikers were all keen bibliophiles, deriving great pleasure from collecting and reading books, but keeping their hobby strictly in proportion, in check. What might happen, however, if that pleasure should turn to obsession, spiralling out of control so that they find themselves physically as well as emotionally trapped by their collection, with every corner of their dwelling places packed to the rafters with books, unread and unloved but relentlessly spurring them on to purchase ever more volumes? This is when bibliophilia becomes bibliomania, and the pictures in this present gallery depict all manner of unfortunate bikers ensnared within this bizarre scenario in all of its nightmarish, claustrophobic chaos!
(Having said that, I've actually visited certain real-life second-hand bookshops in my time whose rooms look just like those depicted here, chockerblock with books in total disarray from floor to ceiling, which is presumably why some of the bikers portrayed in them are smiling - they know me so well!)
More of my AI-created biker images next time!
