Which Book Should You Date?

You don't really see yourself committing to anyone right now, but _Howl_ is just edgy and appealing enough to keep your attention — at least for the night. It may be short, but don't expect sweet from Ginsberg.

_Howl_ by Allen Ginsberg

You're in it for the long haul. The really, really long haul. _Infinite Jest_ is so complex that you'll sometimes wonder why you started dating in the first place, but after the relationship ends, you'll still brag about the time you spent with D.F. Wallace's masterpiece.

_Infinite Jest_ by David Foster Wallace

_The Catcher in the Rye_ first caught your eye for being quirky and rebellious, but the truth is no one _gets_ you nearly as well as Salinger when it comes to being young and figuring out who you are in the world.

_The Catcher in the Rye_ by J. D. Salinger

You're a sucker for romance and grand gestures, and _Pride and Prejudice_ will do just that for you. Even though you might worry that it's too traditional, you'll continually be pleasantly surprised by how modern and relevant Austen can be.

_Pride and Prejudice_ by Jane Austen

You need someone adventurous, and _The Hobbit_ will take you to exciting new places. Every relationship is a journey, after all, and you'll never be bored with Tolkien's imagination.

_The Hobbit_ by J. R. R. Tolkien

You need a book that challenges you and will change how you see the world. _1984_ may seem scary at times, but you'll come away from the relationship with ideas you wouldn't have otherwise.

_1984_ by George Orwell
