In a similar vein to the question posted earlier today, I wanted to know what book reco would you see as a huge green flag when dating, and why?

My answer: Lonesome Dove

​

Why: It delves into themes of friendship, loyalty, and the complexities of human relationships. If they like the book it tells me they have an understanding of the nuanced dynamics that make human connections meaningful.

    Anything by Terry Pratchett would be golden. If they’ve read it and really get it, it means they have a great sense of humour, understand the importance of compassion and imagination, and hopefully appreciate a bit of constructive anger levelled at the structures that make people treat each other like things.

    My partner and I read to each other, and I’m slowly reading him Discworld. :)

      Ok, someone tell me about Pratchett. Never read him but so many on this thread mention him.
