Rows of mass market paperbacks by Stephen King, Dean Koontz, et al are not signs of class. If anything they signal a limited sphere of knowledge.

Stephen King is actually one of the best writers of his generation. Snobs don’t recognize his skill.

It's not Stephen King per se. I agree he's a good writer. It's the lack variation of books. People like this proudly display their rows of best sellers and you know inside they're thinking that they are "well read." I suppose it's better than not reading at all.

It's ok if it's Terry Pratchett.

Are on the walls. It doesn't have to be originals, but not some random Thomas Kinkade or similar that you picked up at Home Goods. Professional family portraits/self portraits on the walls vs the LifeTouch school photos and family vacay pics.

If there's a dog, it's well behaved. Never jumps on guests and obeys commands to sit and lay.

Big loss of points if there's a TV in the living room. TVs are for the family room, not formal living room.

Shelves and surfaces aren't cluttered with random knickknacks from travels.

If a piano is present, it's in tune. Nothing more telling than a guest setting down to play something and it being out of tune.

That's a provincial, suburban mindset right there. A lot of us live in cities here... there's only a living room. And the tv is in it. Oops!

Hi five city dweller!

The things they complain about. My neighbor is quietly super rich and he came back from an international flight in business class and complained that the fact that there was one customs guy at Logan was gonna make the country look bad. I mean, maybe true but tree kind of thing only a rich person would be in a place to notice.

LOL. No.

Class is how you treat other people, OP. If your parents did not teach you this, OP I can't help you.
