If you ever meet someone and you notice they are carrying a book, say "Wunderbar!" and rejoice. This is because books are the finest conversation-starters in the world and to discuss a book is to have a real conversation with a stranger and not banal small talk.

A book can also give you insight into that person's character: first and foremost, that the person is curious, because it is only the curious who read. The boorish and the arrogant do not read because they think they know everything already.
