Did you know that online dating in America is a $1.049 billion per year industry? Yup, it’s actually bigger than the online porn industry, which is a crazy factoid. Although ironic, as the line between the two – online dating and online porn, is often a very very narrow and tenuous one.
With that in mind, the ever interesting @Deems allerted me to a very cool dating website.
I’ve covered lots of different kinds of dating websites here before, like ones for trekkies, ones for cat lovers, ones for gay billionaires, but here’s something new.

interesting concept – dating because you read the same books 🙂
