Identity Symbols

I guess I don't really think my life has too many identity symbols. There are not very many material possessions I have that I believe define me. I know that sounds a little presumptuous, but things have never really been important to me. The few materials things that might define me are definitely books. I love books. They are every where in my life. There isn't any particular favorites, I just love to have them around me. I guess, if I had to choose three they would be, the dictionary,
"Candide" by Voltaire, and "The World According to Garp" by John Irving.
Art-wise, there are a lot of reminders of where I come from and where I want to go. Literally. There travel related and family photos all around me.
Religion definitely doesn't have a very big role in my everyday life. Sure I go to church every once and a while, but you probably would not be able to tell by looking around my home.
