I want to know what others are reading, not others to know what I am reading.

Oh so you are upset that I can keep my reading activities private? That's even weirder than wanting others to know what you are reading.

You are aware that that comment in the blog article (not mine) was tongue in cheek, right? I mean yes, I want to know what other people are reading, but it is not the most important problem in the world.

Also, I think it is weird if you are not at least a little bit curious about the people around you.

If I am curious about them I will ask them a question and engage them in a real conversation.

If you substitute "what color of underwear" for "what book" it seems super creepy...just saying.

This is another one of those online conversations that there are all sorts of people who are very different from each other. I don't think we are even speaking the same language.

All I was saying in my first point wass that its weird that people want to show off what they are reading.

My later point is that it there is a fine line between healthy social curiosity and straight up creepiness. If you would not be comfortable asking the person your question its probably creepy.
