Recommending Infinite Jest* to your date might not be the key to romantic success, but Windee was willing to overlook it with the man who would become her husband.
Among finding literary common ground with your significant other, Windee’s story includes some great questions and even a little advice, such as:
You don’t have to like what each other are reading, but it does help to find audiobooks you can both agree on for those long road trips
Reading and buying books are separate and often unrelated hobbies
Recommending books is painful. What if they hate it? Did the person who reviewed your jury summons questionnaire seek out the book you said you recently read?
There’s no such thing as a guilty pleasure
In case you’re needing a book recommendation, Windee offers up this one: Shark Heart by Emily Habeck.**
*Windee’s husband, John, would like it known he has never dropped acid.
**Whenever possible, I’d encourage you to buy from your local bookstore, but otherwise, this is available all the places books are sold.
