I know what you mean about inspecting acquaintances' book shelves. I figure I can tell a lot about someone by the books they display, or the lack thereof.
I figure it could be worse. My little sister was a total home-decoration snob when younger (well, perhaps she still is) and decided at an early age that she could tell everything she needed to know about someone by the state of their bathroom. She had to visit the facilities in any home she entered, much to Mom's chagrin. And then give a detailed report on the way home.
