I seem to recall a famous quotation that “to understand a man’s mind, look at his library” Do you happen to know of a quote with a similar thrust?

This is true to an extent. My good friend whom I mentioned in the last article about books reads absolutely anything she can access. She is also one of the smartest people I know. She readily favors history, and self help more than anything, and has written her own books, (including 2 cookbooks she is currently working on). So yes, I do believe that what we read shapes our personality, because we connect with the things the writer says. We can usually relate to the plot, in turn it makes us see ourselves for who we think we are.
And if you ask me, most of the time that is not a bad thing.
