>Go on a date
>She tells me her favorite author is Oscar Wilde
I tried being polite for the rest of the night but I never asked her to go on a second date with me. Thank fucking god I dodged a bullet. What are some red flags for you when it comes to people's taste in literature?

Ah, Oscar Wilde - the patron saint of bored housewives and failed English majors. But hey, to each their own. I'm just glad I dodged that bullet and didn't have to spend another night listening to someone rant about how "The Picture of Dorian Gray" is the pinnacle of Western literature.

I've been acting like a rebel from an Anarchist organization or smth, it seems to work for me.
As in work I mean keep annoying people away.

He just said he doesn't read, just hangs out on /lit/ wtf that is, and seemed kind of dull. John Waters was right: If you go home with someone and they don't have any books, don't fuck them.
