The site (which also has a <a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/#!\/CoverSpy\/\">Twitter arm<\/a>) enlists a \u201cteam of publishing nerds [who hit] the subways, streets, parks &amp; bars to find out what New Yorkers are reading now.\u201d It makes for addictively voyeuristic reading. And it\u2019s enough to make you long for the soulless inscrutability of a Kindle. <em>Do they know this is for work? <\/em>you think, and <em>Why are so many people on the L reading Ayn Rand?<\/em>, and\u00a0<em>How old would they think I am?<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Judging others by their books\u2014or, more charitably, forming relationships based on shared literary tastes\u2014is also the guiding principle behind the online dating site <a href=\"http:\/\/alikewise.com\/\">Alikewise.com<\/a>, which was conceived when one of the founders voiced his wish for a woman who liked <em>The Black Swan<\/em>. (One friend described it as \u201cactually, a very convenient way to expedite the weeding process.\u201d) As always in such situations, the question quickly becomes not whether people are lying but why and how well. In its way, it is every bit as harrowing as the roving judgments of CoverSpy. So it is perhaps natural that the two organizations should join forces and produce an event that\u2019s either a bibliophile\u2019s dream or a neurotic\u2019s nightmare, depending on how you look at it.<\/p>\n<p><!--more-->The second resulting mixer, titled \u201cI Like Your Glasses Too,\u201d took place at Housing Works Bookstore. Attendees were asked to fill out a name tag on which they stated their first name; whether they were seeking men, women, or books; and what they were reading\u2014a moral quandary for those of us halfway through a conversation-stopper like<em> Wagner: the Terrible Man and His Truthful Art<\/em>. The first fifty to arrive got a free beer. Afterward, they were three dollars.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI panicked and wrote <em>Ulysses<\/em>,\u201d confided one guy (mid-20s, brown hair). \u201cI\u2019ve never read it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s easier when you have time to think about it, at home,\u201d agreed a woman allegedly reading <em>To Kill a Mockingbird<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI decided to be honest,\u201d said a girl whose name tag read <em>The Help<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Alikewise has, says its founder, spawned matches\u2014at least anecdotally. \u201cPeople write in to tell us success stories,\u201d he says. About half the people to whom I spoke were affiliated with the site.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019d really like to meet someone who reads Murakami,\u201d said a woman (20s, bangs, <em>Water for Elephants<\/em>).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019d settle for someone literate,\u201d responded her friend (<em>Little Bee<\/em>) glumly.<\/p>\n<p>For others, literary sensibility was a deal breaker. \u201cThat dude was &#8216;reading&#8217; Andr\u00e9 Breton,\u201d said my friend. \u201cAnd he was not prepared to joke about it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201c<em>Really?<\/em>\u201d said another, upon spotting a suspicious \u201c<em>Don Quixote<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTom Robbins\u2014that\u2019s a deal breaker,\u201d muttered a woman upon catching sight of a <em>Still Life with Woodpecker<\/em>. \u201cArrested or perverted. I know from experience.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Later, there were readings by the writers Dan Wilbur, Maris Kreizman and Emily Gould. Afterward, participants were encouraged to move down Houston to Botanica bar, where a name tag resulted in drink discounts. \u201cI\u2019m not sure it\u2019s worth it,\u201d muttered a guy wearing horn-rims and claiming<em> The Savage Detectives.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt got crazy last time,\u201d answered his friend.<\/p>\n<p>So was it all people expected?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI met some nice people,\u201d said a <em>Dune<\/em> fan.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWell, I got a free beer,\u201d said <em>Little Bee<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI came in off the street,\u201d said one man (40s, polo shirt) with a shrug.
