Yes but I agree it’s only for the lack of books. People read what they like and I think only an ahole would give someone crap for reading something they didn’t personally like.
Honestly no, unless they don’t have a bookshelf. I once dated a guy who took me to his place to hang out and once I saw he didn’t have a bookshelf I was like “I can’t do this”. confession: when there are bookshelves in movies that I’m watching at home or on videos on social media, I pause and check out their bookshelves.
Yes. I’ve found that a person’s personal library can reflect a number of things about their character. HOWEVER (comma) you have to know how to ‘read’ the library. I have Mein Kampf but am no nazi. My uncle has the complete Harvard Great Books collection, but he’s no scholar.
The film maker John Waters famously said “If you go home with somebody, and they don’t have books, don’t f**k ’em!” (sorry for the language, it was John not me!)
No, partially because I only read when I want to. As with everything in my life I go through spurts where I don’t read , so I honestly don’t care if someone reads or not lol.
Now if they have books I’ll check them out and see if I’ve read any lol
Yes , when he told me all he had to read in his house where US magazines (celebrity/gossip) and that basically that was all he liked reading… it would have been better if he said he couldn’t read 🙁
I’ll confess!! Yes but usually it’s the lack of one x
people call me a freak just because i like reading erotic romance… lol
Ah, who gives a shit. Read what makes you happy x
Pls don’t be offended by the shit I didn’t think oops!
lol im not offended. and i dont care what anyone thinks. i just think its funny
You read!!! Can they say the same???
No, but I’m not one to judge.
Yes, my sister
I would never date someone who didn’t read, and I always wonder how someone could survive without books.
Yes.
Never
i think i judge someone who says they hate reading lol. who can hate books? i dont get it haha
Yeah.
Like I asked this guy at my workplace for novel and he was like, “I don’t have any”.
He said it like it wasn’t a crime.
never judged but definitely feel more connected when they do have one
Yes but I agree it’s only for the lack of books. People read what they like and I think only an ahole would give someone crap for reading something they didn’t personally like.
Guilty as charged
Me … not just bookshelf but also the way he or she speaks English…. I know I am pathetic at times 😉
No
I shouldn’t but I have. If I see
Twilight or 50 Shades I’m judging a little bit but only a little. ? but then I get over it
Honestly no, unless they don’t have a bookshelf. I once dated a guy who took me to his place to hang out and once I saw he didn’t have a bookshelf I was like “I can’t do this”.

No, as long as they actually Read it’s fine with me.
I judge them if they don’t have a bookshelf. Other than that, no.
Not really. I’ve only ever really seen two bookshelves of friends, but I had judged them long before that.
Yep.
Hate to say but yes.
Yes.

Only a lack of books at all! They are not for pictures and knicknacks! They’re for books!!!
The film maker John Waters famously said “If you go home with somebody, and they don’t have books, don’t f**k ’em!” (sorry for the language, it was John not me!)
No, i like looking at others’ collections. It’s interesting to see what others are reading. Even if it’s something I dislike or have never read.
No, partially because I only read when I want to. As with everything in my life I go through spurts where I don’t read , so I honestly don’t care if someone reads or not lol.
Now if they have books I’ll check them out and see if I’ve read any lol
Yes.
Only if they don’t have one.
Definitely! Just did it on Sunday at a baby shower?
I read anything and everything..cant judge this book by it’s cover.?
nope. everyone’s different in what kind of books they like.
No, I don’t have bookshelves in my home because I donate most all my books to charity or to the library. I love to read everyday.
Sometimes by the title of the book…
I love to see a book shelf when I go in to a house. Often gives you a bit of an insight to a person.
No, you read what you read, I’m sure I have some questionable reads on my bookshelf?
I plead the 5th lol
Unfortunately I do sometimes
But would rather see one than not!
only if there isn’t a bookshelf
No
Or lack there of… This isn’t going to work.
Yes, he had a lot of scary white power stuff in a bookshelf that he was “just keeping for a friend.” Got the heck out of there.
no need
Never! Thats like judging a book by its cover, you often get it wrong! 🙂
often times i agree… but then i read kat ferrier’s comment lol
Not by his book shelf but by the books he has read ..
Yes , when he told me all he had to read in his house where US magazines (celebrity/gossip) and that basically that was all he liked reading… it would have been better if he said he couldn’t read 🙁
Nope. I know so many people who doesn’t even own a bookshelf. Not really my basis to know a person.
Always
No
yes and also by the lack of books in the house.
Sure…especially if it’s empty.
No, but I would be curious.
Yes but only if there isn’t one.
Often.
I’ll judge someone based on what they like to read. If they don’t read, fine.
Yes!
yup – their books and their music
I judge on the lack of a bookshelf!! People who do not read can not be trusted! Lol :p
