I hope you're one of the best minds of my generation, because I'd love to see you naked.

Link from Neil Gaiman's Twitter: an article about a dating site that matches people based on their love of books.  I don't know how seriously to take it, but I'd love to meet a guy who's read (and enjoyed) Geek Love or Narcissus and Goldmund (which is like the sweetest subtextual gay love story ever and would make a perfect Pinto AU*).  Also included in the article is a delightful list of literary pickup lines.

So, I'm curious: are there any books that, if you saw on a potential significant other's shelf, you'd immediately think "yup, we're compatible"?  Or, conversely, any that would be absolute dealbreakers?  Obviously a shelf full of Dan Brown or L. Ron Hubbard is a huge red flag.  But I also think there's a Nietzsche Threshold -- two or three books is acceptable and even desirable; more than that says "whack job who's going to start throwing the word ubermensch into daily conversation."

Also, fic rec from the kink meme: Together by jumpmybones for a Pinto reincarnation prompt.  It's a short one, but full of so many heart-rending and sweet details.

*Srsly, even the physical descriptions of the characters match up.  Obviously would have to be tweaked a bit, as they aren't together or even communicating for most of the book, even though they're there in each other's thoughts all the time.  Sigh...  I would write it if I weren't a) already committed to a dozen other things and b) certain I'd horribly mangle it.  Repressed!monk!Zach and romantic!artist!Chris
