Adults who list "Harry Potter" among their top books are morons.

What if they list Tolkien books or have a forum nick from Lord of the Rings? By the way, 'Nazgul' and 'Narsil' aren't two words that would normally go together.

and those that list knuth or shakespeare are trying too hard ;-)

this is fun! you may not be able to judge a book by its cover, but I bet you can judge a person by their books (in a 'sufficient but not necessary' sense.)

which is why I wanted to make a dating site based on how closely related two people's book collections are.

librarything seems to be getting it right.
