An article about romantic travails regarding differences of literary opinion. I can totally sympathize... there are definitely parts of my life that are so central to my being that I simply have to share that interest. But at the same time, the article is a total just-for-fun links grabber for the Sunday NYT. I'm sure many people out there have already read it. In case you haven't, however, definitely give it a read.[NYT]
My thoughts, for the record:
1) Rand fans are a cold, heartless bunch. Major negative.
2) I've never logged into Bookslut.com, but only because I thought it was a porn site.
3) Owning Unbearable Lightness of Being is probably not grounds upon which to end an infatuation, but the speaker does properly summarize it as "trendy, bogus metaphysics, sex involving a bowler hat."
4) Also more or less correct: Baudrillard - too pretentious; John Irving - too middlebrow; The Corrections - overrated
5) It is probably way too demanding of me to seek a partner that is compatible on every level
