Reminds me of a Lyle Lovett (Guy Clark) song, "Step Inside This House":

Here's a book of poems i got
From a girl i used to know
I guess i read it front to back
Fifty times or so
It's all about the good life
And stayin' at ease with the world
It's funny how i love that book
And i never loved that girl


You can never go wrong with a Lyle Lovett reference.
