Fond memories of Ayn Rand toting hippie chick
I had a friend who moved to a remote rural area. He said it had changed his view of women--"out here, if a woman still has some of her own teeth we consider her a great beauty."
I feel that way about women who read. They're so scarce that they're all beautiful to me. I have had memorable relationships with women who read Ayn Rand, Wiccan manuals, Dan Brown, Bridges, the Mammoth Hunters, and even Lorrie Moore.
On the other hand, my Nabokov ex? Whoa, never again. Tolstoy girls are easy. Easier than Anais Nin girls, actually.
I've always aspired to go out with a woman who reads Alice Munro, but I guess they are out of my league.
