All the single readers
Two quick hits today: Open Book Toronto lists the five books that are warning signs on a dating profile (I think we can let #3 slide, but that's me) and A Grammar refutes some list about why writers are the best people to date. Re. the latter, I have never heard of a subset of the population for whom this is a particular attraction, but until I find this possibly imaginary group, I will now be referring to them as word-diggers. You're welcome.

OK, I am now in love with the term "word-diggers."
I do not know of this sub-section of the population, either, but I am willing to believe it exists. Remember Wonder Boys? "She was a junkie for the printed word. Fortunately for me, I manufactured her drug of choice."
I don't think a fiction book by a writer can be admitted as evidence that word-diggers exist. That's practically campaign literature. Especially the scene where noted author Schmichael Babeon comes to campus and all the women fall in love with him.
