I meet this chick at a bar. We head back to my place. She starts admiring my books. Suddenly she reaches toward a shelf. "Can I borrow this?"

Let me guess, Middle Earth?
------ It does suck being married to a non-reader. We have other interests of course but since I have been a voracious fiction reader since the 2nd grade, and he reads newspapers, there is a big gaping hole there. Little wonder he doesn't really "get" my obsession with ereaders these days. At least we no longer have near daily deliveries of paper books. |

A non-reader wouldn't bother me in the least. I have other hobbies and interests to find something in common with. Besides, reading's not my favorite activity; but it's in my Top Five.

no, there's someone else i like, actually
going back to the topic, i myself wouldn't mind being with a non-reader as long as the person respects my interests and wouldn't mind trying out new things, maybe just to "tolerate" me sometimes. i think it's sweet, ha. well, as long as they follow my ultimate rule, it's fine |
