My neighbors had to move and had two old desks that they were going to toss; they asked me if I wanted either of them. I just took the drawers because I already have to many desks. The drawers sat in a pile until tonight when I thought I might be able to construct something shelf-like out of them, rather than building shelves from scratch. So here is my first attempt at the Drawer Bookshelf.
If you don't mind a little curb shopping and dumpster diving, you can most likely find some old drawers and make this for free.

I love the abstract appearance as well... I hate a perfect rectangle wall unit! You should seriously consider doing this for other people since I am positive you could make a little money on the side with this idea!
