I am not sure that makes you a book snob Camilla Send a noteboard - 19/04/2011 08:17:11 AM

I am a snob, aren't I?


Not according to my definition. A book snob is someone who rejects certain books as beneath them (there are therefore levels of snobbishness). So, if he had said he read mainly crime or mainly fantasy, and you had said that was not good enough, that would make you a book snob. Requiring a reader at all seems to me something else. Merely an expression of standards :P

ON TO THE SURVEY BIT!

_________________________________________________________________

1. Have you ever dated someone who doesn't read?


No.

2. Is reading important enough to you that you wouldn't date someone because they didn't read?


They would have to have some fairly amazing qualities to make up for that lack, at least. Like be Sherlock Holmes.

3. Do you think music is fundamental enough to your life that it would factor into who you dated?


Mno. I approach music more on my own. I rarely discuss it with people unless I go to a concert. Besides, here I know from experience that conversion is possible.

4. Have you been on any dates lately?


Heh. No. I don't think I have ever been on a date. It is quite foreign to me.

5. Where would you suggest a book lover find... a lover?


Librarything?
RAFO (seems to work for some)
The library (but no talking! just note-passing)
Bookshops?
