A 150-year old Australian public library has a new true-romance section after introducing speed-dating nights for lovers of classic texts.
The state library of Victoria in Melbourne introduced dating with a literary twist after the idea was raised at a staff party.
Those who attend must bring a book they either love or loathe as a conversation starter, ensuring there are no uneasy silences during the series of five-minute dates.
The library’s first event was quickly sold out with 52 book lovers taking part, and 13 couples linking up for further dates.
This might even be more productive than the baking aisle in a supermarket?
I like this idea because it’s (A) not a money-making scam, and (B) not religiously affiliated.
But I don’t think it would ever work in the USA.
Why? Because we are unread or illiterate or prudes or all of the above?

#4 And the rest of the world doesn’t?

Nope. The rest of the world loves boobies!

The women in my area can read just fine…
