Why You Should Date an Illiterate Man
From the time he meets you, his brain will explode into a thousand whirling clauses, nested nominatives, story lines. He is obsessed with detail, his own greatness, will be self-involved and righteously, assiduously take note of every one of the banal profundities he coins on a regular basis.
The reading man will, for better or worse, love wholeheartedly. He is a born idealist, will do the same things for his girlfriends that heroic male protagonists did for theirs. Not one for practicality, the reading man will inevitably misstep in the execution of such plans.
I don’t agree with the author’s conclusion or prescription for the reader, but this is a very accurate appraisal of the man who reads and the man who doesn’t. I encourage you all to read it (ha) and laugh quietly to yourselves with the awkwardness of recognition in the roles.
