Literary Lovers
Posted by Dr. Margaret Zeegers on 2009/04/23
I came across this item, by Celia Lindsay, in the April 2009 edition of inCite, the magazine of the Australian Library and Information Association, of which I am a member. I had heard about this idea before, and it struck me then as an incredibly good idea. It is speed dating for book lovers. Men and women turn up with a favourite book, and in their dating time talk about the books that they love, perhaps striking a chord with other lovers of similar books. Hosted by the National Library, it was so successful that people had to be turned away, there were so many interested in participating in the event. The article has its appeal, of course, but one paragraph took my fancy:'Some men revealed more than they intended by their book choices. I suspect that "I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell"-apparently a recount of a six-year pub crawl-dind't enhance the dating potential of its owner. "1000 Aussie Jokes" may have fallen into this category also. On the other hand, the young man who brought Dr Seuss' "Foxes in Soxes" managed to carry off this daring choice, and appeared lighthearted and funny, rather than juvenile or borderline illiterate'. A great idea, I think, and certainly more appealing than nightclub encounters that would appear to be quite incongruent for the bibliophile. A nice twist on being a literary lover.

I am agree with you its an enormous idea to work with and without doubt further pleasing than nightclub stumbles upon that would come into view to be fairly dissimilar.

According to Dr. Margaret Zeegers the young man who brought Dr Seuss' "Foxes in Soxes" managed to carry off this daring choice and now he is not very much excited to take a sudden decision.

One of the more interesting ideas is that of speed dating over the telephone on the basis of the sorts of books the 'daters' like to read, assuming that this is such a profound indication of apporaches to life that it is enough to try to build a stable and permanent relationship on, or not, as the case may be.

ne of those people who has to have the hard copy in her hands to be able to get the most out of the reading experience, but I have to say that the comment on the book's being 'too powerful an idea', regardless of the form it takes, is spot on.

Posters can take a wide variety of forms, and there is no one single way to produce a good poster - the important things are that the font size is not too small, that it is easily readable and does not have too much text on it, that it sets out the main points that you want to argue for clearly, and maybe that it's eye catching, too.
