It amazes me how we have resorted to using people's sex drive and desperation to compel them to pretend to be intellectual, informed individuals. I wonder if OSC's books will make the Good Booking Girl's list...?

The article talks about a book "Betrayal in Naples", but I read it as "Betrayer in Nipples". [Angst]

You missed the really funny part of the article.
quote:
At the same time, Penguin, a unit of Pearson Plc, released results of a poll in which 85 percent of women said a man could increase his chances of getting a date by talking about a favorite book.

By contrast, more than half the men polled said they believed that flattering a woman would suffice to impress her.

Applause for even noticing publishers, dear. Or at least the pictures.
