There can be few things more gratifying in life than finding a kindred spirit; someone who sees the world as we do, who enjoys the same intellectual challenges, who smiles at the same funny side of life. It’s something we all yearn for and yet, as we tunnel between work and family commitments, it’s often difficult to meet people beyond our immediate circle, let alone someone with whom we can have a meaningful conversation.
The days of such intellectual isolation may be over thanks to ConnectViaBooks, a brand new web site which allows people to meet kindred spirits in the safe and culturally neutral setting of cyberspace. As the name implies, these encounters are forged through a shared love of books.
In our experience, the books we read say a lot about our personality and interests. The more books we have in common with a person, the closer in personality type we are likely to be. This was the inspiration behind ConnectViaBooks, which allows people to find others who have read the same books and share their experiences. The time you most want to talk about a book is when you’ve just put it down. But isn’t that what book clubs are for?
Book clubs serve a slightly different need. ConnectViaBooks isn’t just about sharing the latest novels. People may have favourite books on cookery, dressmaking or something more esoteric like Japanese prints. Whatever your hobbies and interests, you can now find others who have been inspired by the same writers. It’s a book club with attitude.
The days of such intellectual isolation may be over thanks to ConnectViaBooks?!? What happened to the good ol' days of going up to that hot guy/gal browsing in the 155.31's, in the library, and asking them if they have plans for the evening?
