Does anyone else find readers and reading attractive?

I'm a girl and seeing guy reading is very attractive to me as it tells me that he has his own thing going on and that he has more in his life than just trying to appeal to women or trying to fit in. My ideal guy is the kind of shy, quiet, withdrawn, dark-haired loner sitting by himself with a book who acts surprised in an innocent and nervous kind of way when I get his attention. All of my boyfriends have been like this and I've really enjoyed getting to know them individually, seeing what makes them tick, accommodating their sexual fantasies and kinks and then leaving them go when it's clear they have blossomed into masculine, mature, non-readers.

Better than Norwegian Wood, but not much.
Lots of Greek Island scenes and a bit of Lesbianism, if I remember correctly.
Go for the Sheepman books, Wonderland, Kafka of Wind-up Bird.
And Pinball 1973 is actually fun, though Murakami seems to think otherwise.
