[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No Books in the apartment?  That's silly.  I read plenty but don't like keeping books around so I mostly donate them.  Your post should read "not well read", if you value something like that.  And besides, I know plenty of dim people that are well ready.  That's as weird as the no tux one.[/quote]

I mean, to each her own. Owning books signals a lot of the values and priorities I look for in a partner. Gladwell wrote about it in the Tipping Point. I'm not going to straight up dump a guy for not owning books, or, in your example, if they read the Economist or whatever and then throw it away, but I think it's a actually really good barometer.

Also, I'm sure I'm missing some random example from my life, but I actually can't think of any people I've met who are what I'd consider "well read" and also "dim." I find that a very weird pairing. I'm sure it comes down to how we define "well read" - gets to why I said books I think, versus trashy magazines or whatever.
