Literary Speed Dating Launch

Fancy pitching Buckowski against Atwood? Playing with your Dickens while she (or he) gets all Bronte?

Original Dating's LITERARY SPEED DATING promises to be the first regular event of its kind in the UK. Why not join us in making highbrow history.

Why?
Dating can be daunting at the best of times. Trying to explain who you are while finding out about your date in four minutes even more so. But judging a date by the cover of their book - and what they think about it - can be both revealing and brilliant fun. Is murder mystery for morons? Is Russian Literature for lovers? It's entirely up to you.

How?
Up to 20 four minute dates. Bring a book. Discuss a book. Discuss each other. Date again?

Using our ground breaking app, or for the more analogue, a note sheet, make notes on who you meet marking them as a bibliophilic beau, a platonic peruser or a narrational numpty and let our software do the rest.


If your match reciprocates, you can indulge in lexicographical love, lust or lunch through our online messaging system, only revealing your email address and taking things beyond the first chapter when you feel comfortable.
