Promiscuous reading

Number of books checked out from the library: 11.
Number of people who commented on the size of my pile of books between the stacks and my car: 3.
Amount I had to pay for parking at the library: 0.

Unrelatedly, I received a forwarded credit card solicitation with a card ready for activation inside. This seems really hinky, since I don't live at that address any more and any future card might not be forwarded. Is there some way to stop this? Supposedly you can take your name off the credit agencies' preapproved offer list, but will that affect me getting cards that I do want?
