my fiance isn't a huge reader and it's not an issue. sometimes he will read books i recommend, but frankly, i don't feel that we need a stimulating discussion on a novel if we can have a stimulating discussion in general.

I write and read a lot and the Husband, well, he does neither. The man encourages me to write and he finds it absolutely sexy when I snuggle up in a corner of the house or in bed and read. Most of the time I swear he gets jealous over the book and starts hiding it though. But I suppose my answer to this is YES and still happily married 7.5 years later ^_^

I don't think that I will again date someone that does not read. You know why because reading is so important to me so I think that the fifth most important person in my life should have at least that same interest in me. I have dated plenty of guys that don't read and it's fairly boring...I can relive my highschool days and have book club again with that special someone.

- Latest Review: "Double Identity" by Jaye C Blakemore
Great question! We never think about how our friends and family feel about reading taking up so much of our time. They must feel abandoned at times i'm sure. I try to make it a habit to pay attention to my family in between reads. Although, I don't really have a choice because someone is always trying to distract me from my reading.rssllue wrote:I wonder if it is more of a challenge for a non reader dating a reader or vice versa?
It does make it easier though when a spouse or mate read because everyone is then in their own world and no one feels left out or abandoned. When your partner doesn't read and just sits or lie there watching you read it really bites.(Sorry I was venting)
