Forget CDs, It Is Actually Books That Make the Ladies Say Unh

It’s a big day for old-school technology.  First, CDs were gettin’ all the ladies to do the backseat twist and now the word comes that the come comes… from words…  That inversion only worked a little bit, but the point is that a bookstore in Brooklyn has started an AdultFriendFinder of sorts that pairs you up based on what books you like.

“It actually started when a friend of mine walked into the store and saw two books together behind the counter, one by Neil Gaiman and Steve Toltz,” Anderson said. “And she said, ‘tell me those are for the same guy, and please tell me he’s single!’ So, I got to thinking we could match people by literary taste.”

And if you’ve noticed, when chatting up gals at the bars, Books Game > Movies Game > talking about how much you like to gamble.  Why is that?  

Because books remind people of the romance of olden times, when it was commonplace to bond over such icebreakers as “Here, let me help you carry your books,” or “Is that a book that you’re reading?” or “I wanna f*ck you like they do in books.”

“Books are romantic and I don’t know why!” Anderson said. “I guess there’s something attractive about being passionate about something, be it fantasy baseball or books. And you can learn so much about someone by the books they read—not the books they’ve read, but the books they really love.”

So, books it is.  Let me get you out of them jeans and into this Jane Austen.
