Good books to read to have interesting conversation with a liberal single mom

[Anonymous]

She's nice but I think likes smart conversations so trying to up my 'intellectual' game a bit if you will. Thx!

Contemporary Fiction: Jesmyn Ward, Jennifer Egan, Donna Tartt, Rachel Kushner.

From my experience, most alleged big readers talk a big game but have rarely read the books.

Ta Nehisi Coates and Roxane Gay.

She sounds insufferable already.

People love to talk about themselves. Tell her you're in a reading rut and ask her to recommend something. And ask her why she likes it.

Hilarious.

Are you romantically interested in her?

If so, don’t pretend to have tastes or habits that you really abhor.

Post divorce, I wasted months dating a guy who ultimately told me he didn’t believe in God (I’m religious), hated sci-fi (I’m a huge nerd), and couldn’t see how I reconciled the two. Why spend months attending Mass with me, then binge-watching BSG? And, don’t say just for sex. There’s plenty of sex available with people who don’t love things that you hate!

He did those things to make you happy and you dumped him? I’m trying to figure out which one is more above and beyond the call: Palm Sunday mass or Battlestar season 3.

I love Palm Sunday Mass.

I didn’t dump him because he wasn’t religious or a fanboy. I dumped him because he misled me about what he did believe in or get excited about. Five months shouldn’t pass before you learn a partner is an atheist or only entertained by sports and contemptuous of the things you like.

Yes but she's not ready to be in a relationship yet so we're in friends zone right now but I like her company and want to our conversation to stay ineresting.

Wow! You got all that from OP’s 21-word post?

Maybe you should look in the mirror to find something insufferable.
