you are what you read.

seLf HeLp. they say you can tell a lot about people by the books they read and the music they listen to...so yesterday as i was babysitting in a very sparsely furnished and decorated apartment that is only temporarily being occupied by a couple from chicago, i couldn't help but notice that they only had a handful of books and cds, among them the book "how to make people like you" and the cd "how to start a conversation". this is what they came to new york city armed with. you really do learn a lot about people by what they read and listen to.
