Yes, you read right. Penguin books has partnered with Match.com to help readers find love via their new dating website:
Can you tell whether you’ll hit it off with somebody by the books they read? Will you be judging more than just the cover when you see somebody ploughing through Proust?

Yes, it’s not just knowing that somebody can read that’s important, it’s what they often thought that libraries and book shops were a good way to view reading habits (from a short distance), but it’s still difficult to encroach. People still prefer to browse stores and libraries at their own pace, within their comfort zones. What happens if you come across a great profile, the only hitch being that you like H P Lovecraft while the object of your fancy reads Barbara Cartland? What then?
