Must Love Dostoevsky

Confession: I'm slightly tempted to try this out... Online Dating for Book Lovers

I wonder whether you can customize the person you are looking for in terms of authors and writing styles? For example, a Fitzgerald type with a generous splash of Dickens-like wit?

Or maybe by books they must have read? Like "must have read Pride and Prejudice, Gone With the Wind, Dr. Zhivago, Crime and Punishment, A Tale of Two Cities, and East of Eden?"

Just curious...

  1. If you do the second list, you are very likely to get a very feminine man.

    We should do this together sometime, and make our perfect book man. Remember our yahoo fun?

    Hahaha! This is really awkward, I just went and read some people's profiles....Description: Big and lovely. Pastimes: Playing with my dogs and reading

  2. I disagree... only one of those books is geared for women (P&P). And even then, it's a timeless classic in beautiful Victorian prose. I would get an intellectual and sensitive man, but not necessarily feminine.

    I stand by my criteria.
