The holiday weekend is here! When we weren’t scrabbling about doing last minute shopping, admiring Facebook’s new headquarters , and arguing which 90s heartthrob deserves a much coveted spot as our Timeline banner photo, we’ve been mulling over whether this list of stereotypes based on favorite books and albums of 2011 have any truth behind them.
