My husband said that my love of reading was very attractive. We knew each other for years before we started dating, and I wasn't very fond of him when I first met him, to be honest (he was very good looking and I mistook his shyness for arrogance and aloofness)! I finally started to get to know him better when he came to me to ask him to translate a book for him (a technical book for his bachelor's thesis). I told him that he didn't have to pay me for the work, but that I would like a book (a Croatian-English two volume dictionary) in return. 7 years later, he finally bought me the books with money that we got from our wedding gifts. So in a way, books brought us together.
He wasn't a big reader when we first started dating, but over the years he became one. I'm glad to see that he picked up at least one good habit from me (He also picked up my messiness - he used to be a neat freak! Honestly, who goes from being a neat freak into a messy person?).
