She is not interested in dating guys, she is merely interested in posting an opinion from her high horse. Two books a week is as vague as saying I only date girls that eat two meals a day.

If she is as big of a lover of books as she mentioned, she should know that one absolutely would not power through a book for the sake of finishing a book. I've just coming off a re-reading of Vonnegut's Breakfast of Champions, and at a thing 300 odd pages have taken me a week or so. Some of the chapters required an effort to digest and the re-reading made me appreciative of it in another way that I totally missed the first time around.

She also failed to look at the kind of books one is reading to fulfill that two books criteria. I finished some easy stuff like Salmon Fishing in the Yemen and Gaiman's Graveyard Book in about 6 hours or so, respectively, when I went to Japan. I still struggle with Dostoyevsky, to the point that I needed a break from it before I dive back into it again.

If it is watered down to that definition, then anyone who watches a show, a movie, browsing a /k/ thread could possibly qualify for it. Newsweek and Time aren't even interesting anymore, their article mumble on incoherent points simply to generate 'shock', hoping it will boost their subscription. You would be better off asking your new SO to read The Guardian or The New Yorker. If you want a more relevant Nat Geo, get him to look at The Atlantic's In Focus instead (http://www.theatlantic.com/infocus/).

Books is just another form of informative entertainment, I'd dread to be with someone who loves books to the extend they give no chance to other media's, or worse, any other lifestyle.

Graveyard Book was not mine, but I'm sure Salmon Fishing is somewhere in the room.

A person with curiosity and are interested in intelligent pursues would not put all the eggs into books.

I agree it would be tough to spend time with people who can't stand the sight of books or people who don't understand my need to be silent and reading, that is an issue with his / her personality rather than the capability to read a arbitrary amount or books a week.

Anyhow, you seemed well learned and set on your priorities. I wish you all the best. Remember, "see the cat? see the cradle?"
