reading is sexy: indecision 2008
2 June 2008Whenever the NYT polls famous authors on a topic I tend to automatically love it. Before HPVII came out, they asked a few established authors (though, naturally, I can’t remember any of them other than Meg Cabot) to write what they thought the last page of Harry Potter would be, and it made me deleriously happy. This time, they’re asking writers to recommend books to each of the presidential candidates, and even though I Do Not Care About Politics, nor do I Ever Find It Interesting When People Talk About It, Ever (capitalization intentional), I still thought this was great, even if only for the fact that you can quickly see who takes themselves way to seriously and who doesn’t take themselves seriously enough. Also, Curtis Sittenfeld, I heart you.

It took me way too long to realize that HPVII wasn’t a strain of the virus that causes cervical cancer in women. That was irresponsible acronym usage.

It’s not my fault that your mind is in the gutter and my mind is in a magical land called hogwarts.
