Is it permenant? I only had it happen once. I had a save in my Solitude house (actually standing in front of my bookcase--you could see it in the load-up screenshot), I loaded it and saw the books just fall on the ground. So, I reloaded and it worked. It could be fixed, but it wasn't that big of a problem for me. I could have just been lucky that I had that saved right there, though.

@previous comment: They probably should've added a bookend, or had them leaning the other way. It seems like it stacks them left to right, but made them lean on the right (they look straight up at first, but it seems like they never fall to the left).
