Maybe the owners of some homes that Susan toured had their books
packed? When we sold our old place, I boxed up anything I could and
put it in storage before we started showing. And there's the kind of
folks who read yet own few books -- they're usually rabid library
patrons.

I'm just saying that it's hard to judge whether or not people read
by how many books and/or bookshelves you see in their homes...
