Hot Dudes Reading: What More Could You Want?

Readers! What is better than seeing an attractive person reading a really good book?

Hey girl, on my way to book club.
(via mediafactory.org)

Nothing. Nothing is better. And the folks who run Hot Dudes Reading on Instagram agree. Oh? And did I mention --- they're HILARIOUS. Okay, and creeptastic. But what person doesn't want to be ogled not only for their good looks, but also for their good books?! Look through some of their greatest hits and bask in the beauty of these hot dudes reading. (And if you're not into appreciating hot dudes reading, keep scrolling 'cause I whipped up a little something for you at the end...)

1. That man bun, though. 

Forget about #manbunmonday - I could see myself settling into a routine with this hunk every other day of the week and twice on Sundays. He looks like the tough but sensitive crossfit trainer with a permanently sold out class that everyone is dying to get into. But those fitness groupies will never get to see him the way I will - hair down, soaking those muscles in the tub with a good book surrounded by candles and bubbles. #UpCloseAndPersonalTraining #hotdudesreading

2. Clark Kent + 100 Years of Solitude = YES.

Sigh. This Clark Kent look-alike seems to have just flown in from Krypton to spend some QT on the F Train with us mere mortals. I may have to pretend to faint so he’ll catch me but I’m going to let him finish the last few pages of 100 Years of Solitude first. #superman #hotdudesreading

3. You heard 'em: all hunk, no hobbit. And he's reading.

 

This Elijah Wood look-a-like is all hunk, no hobbit. He probably weekends in the Berkshires with his golden retriever, hiking and chopping wood with those big hands. He could trek to Middle Earth and I'd still follow. #illtakethatring #hotdudesreading

4.  Prince Charming reading a book? I'll take it. 

Spotted this storybook prince with his head in a book on a platform far far away. From his flowing locks down to his chiseled jaw, he’d look perfect riding off into the sunset with me. I want to be part of his happy ending. #WhereMySlipperAt #hotdudesreading

5. Game of Thrones = INSTA-Yes.

Check out this stud getting down with some Game Of Thrones. With that beard and strong jawline, he looks like he could be all Dothraki and I'll gladly be his Khaleesi. I love a guy who's into fantasy, whether it's conspiring in King's Landing or the old school Ludacris kind. #BackSeatWindowsUp #hotdudesreading #HDRfangram

6. Look at that suit! Those glasses! That book! A+, Mr. Professor.

Happy Monday, pupils. This polished professor type looks like the handsome psych teacher whose class no one ever wants to miss. Today’s lesson is the “Happiness Hypothesis” but with those looks and that long hair, there’s nothing to hypothesize about. He can teach me about Freud and Maslow, but I’d like to teach him a thing or two about classical conditioning. #FreudianSlipHimMyNumber #hotdudesreading

7.  It's all about that inseam. And the book. 

I love seeing the first signs of summer in the city. As the heat rises so do the pant cuffs on NYC's finest gentlemen. First it's a little ankle, then the calves come out and pretty soon it's a perfect 7 inches... of inseam. But who's counting? #ME #hotdudesreading #HDRfangram

8. A man double-fisting coffee and a book knows what's up.

Dayummm, where Brooklyn at? Looks like he's standing right in front of me in that throwback Spike Lee hat and vintage Cazal frames, and Baby I Gotta Have It. I'll try to Do the Right Thing and let him finish that chapter before I step in to make my first move. Hopefully He Got Game... #BecauseYouKnowIDo #hotdudesreading

I'm just gonna stop there for now, but...suffice to say that every photo on that account is an A+++. Because you know what people really dig? Brains and beauty. A good book makes everyone attractive.

Hot dudes reading didn't do it for ya? 

Fair is fair, so I went ahead and found some photos of attractive girls reading, too. Though they lack the hilarity of Hot Dudes of Instagram, I didn't want you to walk away without any eye candy!

So, this was all in good fun, but while I was putting together this article, all I could think about is how lovely these people's faces are --- because they're reading. Call me a nerd, but that look of absorption and attention is really, really attractive. Just goes to show that all good things come from reading! So whip out that book you've been saving for home and go read in a public place. Maybe your dream guy or gal is out there, looking for a familiar cover and an unfamiliar face. ;)
