I derive great pleasure from reading as you would expect from a writer. However I keep a sense of proportion. I would not for instance dump a partner merely because they failed to share my literary tastes (failing to shower for weeks on end, now that is a different matter, but not liking the same authors as me, no)! That is, however what Fleur Macdonald, the founder of the Omnivore literary magazine, did when she found her boyfriend reading an inferior edition of Virgil. What is more she founded a dating service for those who feel that one’s tastes in literature trump all else when seeking a prospective partner. Well I am not about to join, however for anyone curious about the service please visit the following link http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/books/booknews/10204049/Literary-website-launches-dating-service.html

I’d rather find a dating service for those who adore bookworms or gentle souls who wear glasses and like to sit by windows in long, sweater coats or sweats in the autumn/winter months:D hehe But, enough with the dating service competitions. There was a time when VHS dating services became a joke. Now, they simply “evolved” to the internet. It doesn’t change the numbers/outcomes that much. Which is a bit unfortunate. And, I feel less enthusiastic with more women multi-tasking (so to speak).
Many thanks for your comment. Best, Kevin
