I think that books are totally an indicator of class. We never had books in my house, my parents didn't and still don't read. They also couldn't help me past 3rd grade on most of my homework assignments, not that they were ever home to help. I read a TON when I was in Elem and middle school and then not at all when I was in highschool (drugs and partying took up way way too much time). But, it was totally library books.
Although, I have a lot of books now, but I am well, probably considered poor/ish/er by most. But I value books more then anything else, I don't own a TV or a fancy car. Interesting study!
