Snooped

Have you ever snooped to see what books other people have on their shelves? Have you ever browsed through someone else’s tablet or e-reader to see what books someone else has? Why or why not? Do you think this is rude?

I don’t recall actually snooping though other people’s books (not that I can remember anyway). I’m normally at home browsing the books I currently have to see what I’m going to read next. I probably would browse if the owner gave me permission to do so. Otherwise I would feel like it would be rude some how. I don’t like other people to go through my stuff without my permission or without asking first so why would I do that to someone else?

  1. I think it is rude because if we don’t want what people do in their private lives then book shelf snooping is also bad. But that is just my opinion. It could be possible that there are chances that people may even like each others recommendation.

    1. True. Of course, I don’t have people over at my house very often so it’s not often people are going to get a chance to snoop through my book shelves.

  2. I also think it is rude, especially if you are doing it behind the back of the person whos books it is. I would think most people have their books on a bookshelf so that you can already see the titles, however. Then that I can kind of understand, as they are already on show for people.

    I’ve never had to worry about snooping though as I do not know many people that are interested in books. I feel like they just act as decor sometimes.

    1. Mine are not there as decor….I actually read the books I have on my shelves. If my book collection happens to look decorative then that is purely accidental.
