There's an amusing article in The New York Times about dating and book preferences — what titles/authors are the dealbreakers? Some say, as long as he/she reads...I haven't dated too many readers, which makes me sad now that I think about it. But I can't help but think of one particular dating experience I had a few years ago. At the beginning of the date when we were getting into the job discussion, I mentioned that I wrote book reviews. His horrified response: "Wait...you have to read the whole book?!"

It was a long night.
