People sometimes buy books for mere intellectual decoration. Shocking! I am all aflutter!
Seriously, is this really a new phenomenon? "Social competitiveness about which titles we read has become one of the new mass forces of the era..."? Uhm, I can think of plenty of books people don't read but have laying around (War and Peace, etc.) and it ain't some new-fangled fad, folks.
