I’ve always been a fan of words, but never much of a reader. Not that I didn’t like reading, its just that I am a magazine guy. It wasn’t until I picked up a copy of “The Source” and saw a review of “Dark” by Kenji Jasper that I really fell in love w/ the novel. Since then I realized that what you read says a lot about who you are in a relationship. So today I’m going to let you know what the books you read say about your personality.

Urban Lit:
If you’re a fan of the hood book, and read them exclusively than you may need to look at the type of mate you like. Are you hooked on thugs, drug dealers and bad boys? Do all of your ex girlfriends have a ghetto side which requires them to carry Texas Pete or Frank’s Red Hot in their purse? I found that people who read hood books, will treat their mates well, but often tend to put up with a little bit more abuse than the average chick. The women seem to love their ‘Trifling A$$ N***as‘ and the men will spoil their chicks while cheating on them with some bum chick who can’t hold a candle to their main.

Erotica:
The erotica reader tends to love sex. They love it so much that I find the some of them will have a hard time staying faithful in a relationship. They tend to be more open to the open relationship, they love masturbation and ironically some of them haven’t had sex in a long time. Weird right? I know.

Self Help Books:
If you read a lot of self help books it doesn’t mean that you’re crazy. It actually tells me that you’re so in tuned with yourself that you’re willing to get better at everything you do. This is such a great feature to bring into a relationship that it can even trump sex. Learning is the key to a great relationship and if you can consistently bring something new into your love life then you can count on having a lasting relationship.

Sex Guides:
Every so often when you look on someone’s bookshelf you’ll see 101 sex positions or a karma sutra book. This tells me you know exactly what to do in the bedroom or you’re willing to learn all the right things to make your lover explode. Also when it’s discovered that you’re reading a book like this, you’ve pretty much put your cards face up. No need to play the game anymore make it happen and let the practice begin.

Mainstream Books:
When you read books that don’t have a booty model on the cover, color font, and guns… this tells me you’re an open minded person who doesn’t have walls to what you like. The ability to be able to embrace another culture other than your own is an amazing trait to have. You are more likely to want the finer things in life and are down to experience the other side of love.

At the end of the day, what you read makes you. It changes your life, because once something is introduced into your mind it effects the way you think about life, love and the world in general.

What do you read and has it ever effected your relationships?

  • wrong question to ask me... I'm a literary nerd & I will admit that I turn my nose up at anything not labeled "literary" esp urban lit. I just can't get behind those books at all. I've tried to read a few to give it a chance but they are WACK in my opinion.

    but I can appreciate good writing, because despite the genre good writing is good writing, i.e. Stephen King, Michale Crichton and the like.

    Has my reading habits/choices affected my relationships? Nah; I've never met a dude who had a problem with my nerd-like ways :D

    I'm definitely mainstream. However, I haven't really implemented things I've learned in a book into my relationship. Maybe a sex tip or two from those hood/erotica books i rarely read. Not sure how I can use information given from books such as Lord of the rings, the C.S.Lewis collection etc. But it's well written and helps expand my way of thinking. I'm pretty nerdy with my reading material.

    When I read I like to be taught something, I guess that's why I haven't ever gravitated towards the urban lit books. I am not really looking to be able to relate to a certain topic but to look outside of the box and gain knowledge in other aspects in life. I find myself either reading history books or some fantasy shit with wizards and dragons LOL. The vocabulary in those books are crazy!!
  • Man I read everything. Just finished Stephen King..and before that, a hood/erotica book. I read eric jerome dickey, toni morrison, michael crighton (sp), self help. YOU NAME IT I READ IT lmao.

    So what does that say about me?
  • TheDuchess
    You love to read maybe?? LOL
  • LMAO...Yup..thats it and thats all
  • I love to sit and read a good book, absolutely love it. I feel like it is the perfect way to escape and unwind for a long day. My dude does not read, while it has not affected our relationship, there are days when I want to just pass him a book and say "hey baby this was a good read, read it and tell me how you feel" and he would try and then a few days later i see the book by the bed untouched.
  • HeadMistress
    Oh yeah Xilla, speaking of books.... ;-D
  • AnnaGo
    Eric Jerome Dickey all the way! Especially his Gideon series. I just finished Resurrecting Midnight--I couldn't put it down and was on the edge of my seat the entire time. I guess this means I like bad boys and am an adrenaline junkie. lol
  • nynikki
    Definitely mainstream. I haven't dated avid readers, but it doesn't bother me. I dated a writer once and he seemed too surprised at the diversity of my library which earned him a hard side-eye and a silent "F.U.!", lol.
