Books Are Sexy

[ithildin]

.... For those of you troubled by the lingering idea (instilled in youth by parents obsessed with the benefits of "enjoying the sunshine") that a life spent reading is a life half-lived, your worries are over. Not only does sitting with your nose in a book positively influence others' opinion of you, it could actually - get this - lead to sex. A third of those surveyed said that they "would consider flirting with someone based on their choice of literature". It's finally official, people. Reading is hot.

Well, duh! Just think about that photo from the Source that's floating around with Methos holding the book. Yes, there's another one of him all kitted out in leather, but it's the book pic that's sexy. Not to mention I spent my entire childhood with my nose in a book, and I refuse to blame reading for being a dork. Heh.

The rest of the article is here, and I stole the link from jinxed_wood -- it was such a pretty ship, err.. link :)

A Bit Later: Just had to make a new icon to go with the post.

It IS a sexy picture. Book dorks are hot.

*thinks of other main fandom crush, Wesley Wyndam-Pryce, resident book-man of Angel, and officially Too Hot to Live*

Oh yeah. He was so hot on Angel. Thank god for angst and stubble [g]

Hee, yeah, it really was the angst more than the books. And the pretty. That helped.

But the books didn't hurt?

Until the stubble and the angst, the books alone weren't quite anough to push him into the hot zone for me [g]
