I try not to judge a book by its cover—except when it comes to a potential mate’s taste in books. I definitely weed people out based on their bookshelves or lack thereof. No books = no way in my world. That’s why I’m excited about a new online dating site, Alikewise, where you can choose your dates based on their taste in books. It’s perfect! You can skip that awkward moment where you sniff out each other’s book persona and get straight to the part where you geek out over your love for Ayn Rand. Or in Amelia’s case, you can, ahem, eliminate him if he happens to have enjoyed The Fountainhead. But seriously, whether you’re into sci-fi, great literature, romance novels or memoirs, you can find a fellow bookworm with whom you’d be happy to read in bed on Sunday night. [Alikewise]
