There have been times when rereading has been all that stood between me and the abyss. I also believe in C.S. Lewis' theory that we power through some books to find out what happened, and on rereading can appreciate the nuances.
There's more than one way to skin a cat. And I happen to know that's factually true.

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
If you go home with somebody and they don't have books, don't read with them.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
If you go home with somebody and they don't have books, don't read with them
Or lend them one of yours. Who knows what could happen?
Imagine if they don't have a stereo, or a wall full of records or CDs!

All my CDs are in the basement or hidden in drawers, I hope people don't think I don't like music. I do have a wall of books, though.

(I don't actually care what kind of visible media someone has if I'm going to their house to have sex with them....)

Yeah, i can just see that "Ooh, baby, let's go to your place!" ...walk in... "Oh, sorry, I can't do this"

You have to remember that being a 5-time Olympic medalist means Hilary Knight has been playing hockey at an elite level at least 16 years. It's impossible for her to be a teenage girl less than 16 years old, thus the President's complete lack of interest.
I don't think I've ever been dissuaded from having sex with someone by having a look around their home, but in at least a couple cases what I saw determined whether or not there would be a repeat performance.
