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. |

| 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. |

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. |

Wow! You got all that from OP’s 21-word post? Maybe you should look in the mirror to find something insufferable. |
