Unbelievable.<BR/><BR/>I have a wall of books, though I never thought of it as an attempt at showing how big, giant, and smart my head is. In the back of my mind I consider books and music (CD's) to be a wise investment because you can sell them all if you suddenly find yourself out of a job with extremely dim prospects. It's a residual post-dot com defense mechanism, kind of like how our grand parents squirreled away money in their mattresses after the Great Depression.The Angry Young Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12678561941393086322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27558161.post-138781271100754292007-03-30T12:31:00.000-07:002007-03-30T12:31:00.000-07:00You're right on: no books, no chance.

It is scary, made only more frightening by the feared "Oh I don't read."<BR/><BR/>I don't know if I have a rule, but I do become uncomfortable around anyone who owns more than one self-help book, especially if the book was ever profiled in NYT or Sex and the City.<BR/><BR/>Having a stuffed baby seal on display is simply beyond the norms of good taste.

Someone on the NYTimes commented that someone with a "brag wall" of books to prove "how smart they are" is just as annoying. However, someone who doesn't (or wouldn't) even own 2 or 3 of their favorites (much less have favorites, as in, "Oh, I don't read")... that's an issue.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27558161.post-7873128099030578572007-03-29T18:18:00.000-07:002007-03-29T18:18:00.000-07:00I only have a handful of books.

I liked the feeling of not having so much stuff, so, now even though I read about a book a week, I don't keep them. For a while I was buying them and giving them away -- lately it's the library because I'm too broke to buy books.<BR/><BR/>I guess it's a moot point in this context, since I rarely bring anyone home!Stevenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03893392324561217969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27558161.post-24851776148684022562007-03-29T16:53:00.000-07:002007-03-29T16:53:00.000-07:00I would have to concur.

Even worse - they have books but they're all gay oriented self-help books. I dated a guy in law school who was ready to settle down with me on our first date. His bookshelf was full of nothing but books with titles like "How To Have A Successful Gay Male Relationship." It creeped me out completely.The Angry Young Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12678561941393086322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27558161.post-41180725842841479942007-03-29T15:15:00.000-07:002007-03-29T15:15:00.000-07:00A fridge containing a human head and a bottle Ries...A fridge containing a human head and a bottle Riesling.
