If your favorite book is War & Peace and he read it... you might wanna run away. But if it was just a normal novel-length book, it is a point in his favor contingent on his future behavior. I read A LOT. If I was going on a date with someone and had their favorite book on my list already anyway, I'd probably just dive into it. I read fast, and I LOVE to read. I read the final Harry Potter in a single epic push in a hammock in front of my condo the weekend it came out.
It is not too long. I've never had anyone do that before!

Agreed! I am also a big reader, and read fast. If I had space and it was of interest for me, I might prioritize it too.

If someone mentions a good book to me, I'll often get it the next few days and read it. All of it. For an average book, that's 4 hours or less of reading.
This is becoming kind of a concern on this forum. It seems to me most people on this forum can't discern the difference between someone who is interested in pursuing a relationship from someone who is mentally ill, and so they think anyone who shows any interest at all is a creepy stalker.
OP, this man has some interest in you. That's a good thing, if you also are interested in him.
*don't these people on this forum have parents who tell them about relationships*
I think that is sweet. Frequently I'll read books immediately after someone recommends it.

I think it's sweet too. It sounds like things are off to a promising start.
I think it's smart to limit how often you see each other in the beginning. That's a good way to pace things, plus it allows the opportunity for anticipation to build between dates. Have fun!
OP, based on your numerous threads, all of your overanalyzing and the metrics you have set up around dating (so many numbers!) could be your undoing. If you can't stop looking for problems and just relax & enjoy yourself (with a healthy, normal dose of self-preservation) then dating failures may become a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Agree!

OP, I know your concerns, and you are doing the right thing. Is always better to be safe than sorry. If a guy cannot take it slow, like he text you and couldn't wait for you to respond back to him before he sends you an email, that is kind of red light sign.
I agree with others that he might be sweet because he read your favorite book so he can relate to you. However, what happen in the future when you end up marry each other? You can't just use this one incident as like oh he is definitely a nice guy and the right guy.
You should take as much time as you need to observe the guy you are dating. If he honestly care about you and not just looking into your pant, then he should not have a problem of showing patience.
The beginning of a date almost always looks good. The guy always try to do so much to impress the girl. If so, the guy should be able to keep this up if he is serious.
