You know what else my mother was nuts about? China. You had to have every day sets, and then you had to have "good" china- she had two sets of "good" and they weren't used much- just for company and MAYBE Christmas- but maybe not, since our family wasn't technically "company" even on a Holiday.

I, too, have a hard time understanding people who don't have books. And then there are the people who only have Reader's Digest Condensed and other icky-poo stuff. Their high school yearbook, a book their broker gave them on investing. OK, now I am going to admit to being a book snob. I put my most impressive books where others can see them. Well, actually my most interesting and impressive books are in my own room, the OED and the Encyclopedia Brittanica and all the medical textbooks, but the art books, classics and intellectual literature are on the living room bookcase.
