How to Discuss a Book

A few months back Missy and I did some house hunting. We went into more than one place that was staged with nice furniture. Many of these places had a room, or a corner of a room, staged as a den or an office. The bookshelves were always full of hardcover books, their dustjackets removed to show off the hardness of said covers. In staging the space this way they were trying to create the sense that this was a place to sit quietly and think deep thoughts, but they clearly bought the books at used book stores and thrift stores without paying much attention to the titles.

What I’m saying is, if you want to steal a copy of either Twilight or Fifty Shades of Gray, go tour a model home.
