In a similar vein to the question posted earlier today, I wanted to know what book reco would you see as a huge green flag when dating, and why?

My answer: Lonesome Dove

Why: It delves into themes of friendship, loyalty, and the complexities of human relationships. If they like the book it tells me they have an understanding of the nuanced dynamics that make human connections meaningful.

    Is right good or bad? I never did online dating. I’d say the following tho

    Yes: Hitchhikers guide

    Pass: Confederacy of Dunces

    Probably The Wheel of Time, because we could talk about that series for hours. If not that, Nicomachean Ethics, it would probably mean we have a similar ethical system which is always nice to know before.

    Candide. Don’t know that it says anything about how good of a partner they’d be, but at least it says that they’re fun to talk to.

    My now-wife listed Isabel Allende in her dating profile.

    If I had to say one book, it would be The House of the Spirits.
