Let me paint a picture for you. You go on a lovely Tinder date with a man who seems pleasant enough. You go back to his house because why not, youre an independent woman after all. You sit on his bed next to his acoustic guitar and record collection Radiohead Kid A, of course. He says Ill be one sec, stay there.

Your eyes begin to dart around the room and are immediately drawn to his abundant book shelf. Hemingway, Hemingway again and again Bukowski, Ayn Rand, Lolita? Ok this is getting weird. You hear footsteps. He opens the door. Hey, sorry about that. Anything wrong? You hold your breath and RUN

Ok a little bit extreme, but you get the picture. The above scenario demonstrates the literary red flags to look out for in a man, all thanks to this viral tweet.

The tweet highlights the Top 7 Warning Signs In a Mans Bookshelf and has certainly divided the internet. Why? Because no one likes to think their taste in literature is a red flag.

Other books mentioned in the comments were Catcher In The Rye by J.D. Salinger, Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy by Douglas Adams and On The Road by Jack Kerouac. Personally, any talk of Nietzsche is a solid turn off for me, but thats a whole other kettle of fish.

The comments trying to defend themselves arent helping their cause either. If you want a prime example of this just have a look for yourself.

Other commenters defended the tweet saying that it was all too true.

So what can a man do to stop being ridiculed about his taste in literature? Just dont read. Plain and simple.
