I am a hardened reader. I always have a book on my nightstand or in my bag so that I can read it at any free time I have, ... Of course, I am not obsessed like so many other readers who are only concerned about reading a high number of copies a year to show off in the networks of it.
La literature, as leisure that is, it is enjoyed, it is savored slowly, it is lived ... Unless you are a literary critic or work in a publishing house and the pleasure of reading becomes your profession. But it is not the case that I bring you today ... There are many lists that I read about «Fall in love with a person who ...», and each one puts their profession: psychologist, nurse, teacher, etc. But I've never found one that is "Fall in love with a person who reads"... That is why I want to make my own, with my reasons not only to fall in love with someone who reads (love arises or does not arise) but also to be close to these types of people.
They respect lonely moments
People who read understand and respect the moments of solitude that the other needs for the simple reason that we also need those little moments of solitude in which we read ...
They have critical thinking
It is not that we carefully analyze everything that happens to us but that we know how to see both the positive and the negative to the same subject. Not everything is good or bad, everything has both its face and its cross, so we are of great help when advising difficult situations or choices beforehand.
They are easy when it comes to giving them on important dates
You will only have to know which one or which are their favorite authors and which book or books they want to have in a special and limited edition. In this way, when an important date arrives where you give each other things (Christmas, anniversary, birthday, etc.) you will have it super easy to make them happy.
They are curious
People who read, among other things, do so because we like to "live" the lives of those characters. When we like a book we are curious until the end to know what step the story will take next or the turn that will give the life of one character or another, in each chapter. That is why we will always try to go beyond things and not stay on the surface ... We are always "open" to knowing and discovering more about life and everything that surrounds us every day.
They will infect you with their taste for reading
And arguably, this is the most important point on this short list. If a person is capable of making you pick up a book and make you become more and more interested in reading every day, just for that, he deserves to be in your life.
Enjoy it! Tell him to read to you, to share the story with you ... Tell him to recommend a book, and share that moment of reading ...
