Come Live In My Heart: You should date a girl who reads.
Date a girl who reads. Date a girl who spends her money on books instead of clothes, who has problems with closet space because she has too many books. Date a girl who has a list of books she wants to read, who has had a library card since she was twelve.
Find a girl who reads. You’ll know that…

19 year-old English & History student in Ireland. Half-Irish, quarter-Spanish and quarter-Portuguese, with some Jewish and Phillipino blood thrown in for good measure.
Love literature, especially 19th century fiction, the novel and short story and, most importantly, Russian literature. Passionate about languages - can speak English, Irish, Spanish, Portuguese, French, German; teaching myself Russian; set to learn Danish. Classicly trained flautist - love most music other than rap & hip-hop; my classical tastes mainly Tchaikovsky and the other Russians, Satie, Debussy, Fauré, Grieg et al.
