– John Waters
Rarely have I found a quote to be truer or more provocatively put.
I realise I may be preaching to the choir here,
because who but bookish types would read this blog, anyway.
A while back,
I wrote a blog post about,
how kindness may be more important to me than a physical attraction,
excerpt:
So, here’s where I feel like a Martian,
to me physical attraction grows with how
smart, interesting and kind a person is.
Obviously, there can be no repugnance factor, but,
really it grows.
Maybe what I meant to say is,
no books, no chance.
There could be exceptions,
a pile of New Yorkers with a library card on top,
that would work.
A bookshelf filled with the complete works of Dr. Phil,
would on the other hand,
work as well as a room full of taxidermy.
I am not a snob,
I could deal with a Danielle Steele and a few Star Trek novels,
after all,
I have been known to read romance novels
and occasionally,
Cosmo,
I read it for the pictures.
But, like my man Waters,
no books, no nooky.
I love succinctness.
But, it could be the fever.

All in good jest.
