One night I had a date with a Polish girl and beforehand something
told me it wasn't going to go very well and that I should bring
some entertainment. So I brought a book (Fathers & Sons by Ivan
Turgenev).
 
Sure enough, one hour after we met up, she told me it was time to
end the date because "We need to start slow, like in La Petit
Prince." Whatever. I had my book with me so I ordered another drink
and cracked it open.
 
After this I started taking a book with me to every date, and
noticed a couple things.
 
First, it serves as a great conversation starter that begins the
date on an interesting note. You can take it a step further by
using it to mold your image depending on the book you take. If the
girl sees you as a pensive intellectual, how about you take some
literature? If she sees you as an adventurer, maybe some sort of
travel book.
 
Second and more importantly, taking a book discourages bad
behavior. 
 
In D.C. I have been out with a lot of sassy and "in charge" girls
who can be blunt with their words. When I don't like what I'm
hearing, all I have to do is stare hard at my book. She quickly
gets the hint that I have other options. 
 
One time I reached for my book when my date was acting retarded,
and she said, "Okay I'll calm down, sorry." 
 
It's kind of a nuclear option to get the exact type of behavior you
want in a girl and especially works well on the ones who are
over-confident (think lawyers).
 
One last perk of taking books is that it's no longer a big deal if
she's late. You'll remain apathetic and aren't reduced to staring
at your phone like an idiot, wondering if you're being stood up or
not. You'll lose track of time and may even be a little
disappointed once she finally arrives because you were in the
middle of an exciting part.
 
For less Westernized and feminized countries you don't need this
move, as I've never done it in South America. But in the States I
do it all the time.

Seems legit, but doesn't it look very weird when you're taking a book with you on a first date? Imo the girl will think you are a giant nerd.. Correct my if I'm wrong ^^

Lol not at all or I guess where you're from may contribute to girls acting differently to it.
Where I'm from the writer, intellectual type of Alpha male is considered as a Sexy stereotype and a positive indentity. So I find most ladies responding positive to it.

But I guess if you're going to show up with a DC comic book and 90% of the time talk about it, how Clark Kent saved Lois Lane, then ofcourse you'll be public nerd number 1!

But imagine you're waiting for your date, reading some adventure book, having a single malt. She shows up, you do your formalities. Now what do you think is going to be her first question?
What are you reading?
You tell her its an adventure book and you like going on adventures, same time it can inspire a nice dhv story or something. You find out her hobbies or things she likes to do etc.

Sometimes I would have a gig and schedule a date right after it, so I just drag my guitar with, I swear that thing is better than a wing.
Point is you don't have to do these things, but it's just a small little tip or tweak to make certain interactions easier. I've seen a lot of kids who doesn't even know how to break the ice.
Hope I helped

D.P
