I agree with Kazbates, part of the reason is the covers. When I used to request the books online and pick them up at my local library, I always imagined the librarian making judgements based on the covers, and the ridiculous titles, e.g., The Sicilian Billionaire's Reluctant Mistress.

But I think underneath it all it is because I make judgements about people based on books I see them reading. Actually, if I see them reading at all. If I see a young person on the train reading an evidence casebook, I figure they are in law school, and probably pretty smart. But if they were reading a bodice ripper, I would assume they were a secretary.

But that is my prejudice. Just saying, it always comes back to bite you.
