*flees, pursued by scary people*

Just scanning the monthly email OKCupid sends me, and was trying to decide which of the following two women were scarier - the one who didn't read, or the one whose favourite book was The Fountainhead.

My response was intended to be light-hearted, but to follow your serious lead I can only say this. I don't really find you or any other non-reader scary as such. I just find conversation extremely difficult with anybody at all who does not share some kind of frame of reference. e.g. my Dad, in almost all respects we a very compatible indeed but conversation between the two of us is all but impossible because as a non-reader he fails to understand or even recognise many of my observations or comments. He is in all other aspects a very intelligent and capable man so I find this frustrating. My problem, not his.
