In real life you just get into fights with people about books and it is the greatest thing ever and you can tell that way if you like them, how they fight about the book and what books they will go to bat for, and how they react when you say “I don’t read books by men anymore really.” … and then when we find a book we both love together it will be an extra kind of triumph, and we will go into the night like friends.
