Explanation:
Personification
There are 8 different types of figure of speech. In this particular question, the writer has used personification, ""The books lay like great mounds of fishes left to dry. The men danced and slipped and fell over them. Titles glittered their golden eyes, falling, gone""
When we see these sentences, the books are compared to fishes. The titles of the book has been personified as golden eye. So we see the use of personification figure of speech.
