When I was little, I knew I was a bookworm but not what order to say it in.

you can definitely tell who likes books and who doesn't (too many leather bound sets is a dead giveaway) as well as who lives in california and who doesn't,
Question: Did you see that John Waters exhibit at the Warhol Museum in PGH a long time ago? (I think it was called Change of Life?) There was a life-sized photo of most of his library that you walked through and it was extraordinary. These photos remind me of that. Totally dreamy.
8: I would like leatherbound books someday when I grow up, but you're right: too many of them is suspicious.
Jess: I did not see it and now I really wish I had. Where's a bibliophiles' museum when you need it for stuff like that?
I agree with 8yearoldsdude - leather-bound sets look like the person is decorating with books; mismatched, well-thumbed volumes are the sign of a serious reader.
Obviously, people can read leather-bound books just like any other book, but they're so awkward to read and carry that nobody reads very many of them.
