Ya, it is too scary. People see things like that and they wonder about you. I have had people basically sneer at me when they saw my bookshelves lined with sci-fi, and romance alongside. I am used to carrying my books in a bag...

I think people think like this: I know what I am inside, and how I think and feel, so if I had those books in my home, it is okay. BUT I do not know how this person in front of me thinks inside, or if he is a psychopathic weirdo, my gawd, that is scary he has those books! or she has those books... etc. They must be crazy. Don't mention the books, just take a calm looksee and walk away...

People are afraid of anything which they don't have proof of the inner workings.

My thoughts. two-bits worth this afternoon.
