First, excellent taste in books.

This definitely isn't what I think about as leading lines and yet my eye is drawn straight into the white circle on the Cthulhu book and it is more than it is just a bright spot and more than the depth of field. Looking at the image, I think that there is an implied line in the expanding bookshelf and some of the lines of the titles act as leading lines.

I really like the use of depth of field and that white circle acts as a perfect anchor for the eye. Even though the titles and authors aren't all in the image, there is enough there that you can figure out the authors and titles on some of the books. The exposure is spot on.

The only thing I don't like about the image is the wall at the end. I think the image is much stronger if it is cropped in from the right and the bookshelf appears to extend into infinity.

Overall, I like this untraditional take on leading lines.
