The ever-entertaining [info]slammerkinbabe pointed me at this piece on speed-book-dating. The idea being that you have your standard 5-minutes-with-each-person speed date, only you have, on the table in front of you, your 3 favourite books, to inspire conversation. Five minutes intensive conversation about their favourite books sounds like the kind of thing that people I know could get to grips with :->

Of course, that's the three I'm picking at this moment in time. Ask me again in a week and I'll probably say a different three.
