I read an article not too long ago that attested to the fact that readers make the best people to fall in love with. I loved that article, and as a huge nerd and bibliophile, I’ll go ahead and agree.
I mean, for decades Hollywood has made us nerdy types out to be the wallflowers at every dance, losing the guy (or girl) to the jock or head cheerleader or bad boy guitar playing, motorcylce riding…well you get the idea.
We bookworms were relegated to sitting alone in the school library next to a pile of dusty tomes while everyone else slow danced and got felt up in the auditorium. All good. We nerds ended up with less drama and heartbreak…and a better vocabulary anyways.
