Transcript

[Person stands in front of a bookshelf]

Person: Ooo, Atlas Shrugged

[Person yanks out book only for a click to be heard]

[The entire setup begins to rumble, while the bookcase and a surrounding platform takes both it and the person behind the wall]

[The tiny, dark room behind the wall has one thing painted on it]

Wall: You have terrible taste.

[The whole piece of kit moves back to its original position. The person stands there mildly stunned.]

Description

Again, I'm late. Sorry. Life getting in the way of my explaining.

This is a play off the typical "hidden door" in which you pull down the right book and suddenly a wall of books turns into a hidden door. In this case, the book is Atlas Shrugged and instead of a secret passage, the wall swings around and takes you to a message "You Have Terrible Taste".

Atlas Shrugged is a dystopian novel by Ayrn Rand.
