Edie's experiment with Nerve ads

Edie at A Mating Call in the Concrete Jungle has launched an experiment on the Nerve personals: "I created a fictional Nerve ad with a gorgeous woman and dumb answers and updated mine, which offers neither of those things." Their respective answers to the "Last great book you read" question:

ME - "I can't remember the last 'great' book I read. I can tell you that on my nightstand now are, The American Sphinx a biography of Thomas Jefferson by Joseph Ellis and Crime Classics, an interesting compilation of short mystery stories."

MODEL: "I don't read that much. Although I do read Cosmo and Marie Claire every month. I like some Danielle Steele, too, I guess."

Scroll up (ie, toward the more recent entries) for running commentary on the results.
