    As a kid, I walked to the library several times a week and stayed up late reading. I checked out so many books and returned them so quickly the librarian once snapped, "Don't take home so many books if you're not going to read them all."

    "But I did read them all," I said.

    In college, when I created my online dating(约会)profile, in the " favorite books" section I put One Hundred Years of Solitude, A Moveable Feast, White Fang and so on. But I realized I hadn't read most of those titles for two years.

    David was my first online date. David read about a book or two a week. When we compared libraries, we had only four titles in common.

    On our seventh date, David and I visited the library.

    "I have a game," he said, taking out two pens and Post-its(便利贴). Let's find books we've read and leave reviews in them for the next person. "

    We stayed there for an hour.

    Before leaving, I said, "I will tell you something. I've only read one book this year. "

    "But you like books, "he said. "You like bookstores. You like libraries. Read a book!"

    Back home, David' s charge to "read a book" echoed in my head. I bought books whenever I got the chance, but I hardly read them. They sat on every surface until my house appeared to wear books the way one wears clothes.

    I picked up one. Whenever I wanted to give up on it, I thought of David      .

    "How's your day?" David texted.

    "Good. A little tired, "I replied. "I stayed up late and finished my book. "The last time I'd pulled an all-nighter to read, I was 12 and the book was Little Women.

    David suggested we visit the library again. He pulled a book from the shelf, dropped to one knee, and opened it. Inside, his Post-it read: "Karla, it has always been you. Will you marry me? "

    His proposal had rested in the book for over a year.
