Do you judge people by the books they read? Turns out, you are not alone, as many people in the dating world admit to basing their first impressions on the books their dates are reading.
Jenna Lang of The Guardian writes about this type of judgment, asking, “We all know we shouldn’t judge a book by its cover, but what about judging a date by the cover of the book he or she is holding?” Lang finds that men were most impressed by seeing Russian literature, “well-worn” copies of classics, and the works of Orwell, Dickens, and shock of all shocks, Hemingway. Women, on the other hand, seemed most impressed by books on current events and travel writing, but looked down on men who read fiction, deeming it “girly.” WTF?
