This isn't available for others to try yet. Before I put a lot of work into the idea I wanted to see if anyone else found it worthwhile.
I read a lot of books these days, but for the most part they're digital. Because of that, they're not staring at me on a bookshelf and I find myself forgetting what I've read. Most importantly, I find myself forgetting the memories attached to those books.
Before e-books, I'd have physical copies that would remind me of specific moments in my life. It was nice to see a few books and think, "Oh yeah, that was when I lived in San Francisco and met my girlfriend," or "oh yeah, that book reminds me of my family back in Southern California."
I wanted to get that feeling back. The feeling of being able to look through my past...but by using books. I put this together as something quick and easy to make me happy.

In fact, all the code can be found here: http://tympanus.net/codrops/2011/12/05/lateral-on-scroll-sli.... If folks are interested in the idea then please let me know and I'll see about making something that we all can use.
This is just my way of showing the quick idea :).
