Gene would be proud because I didn't willingly drive from Arlington to Rockville to ogle a hot young writer who turns out books on the horrors of sororities, old clubs at Ivy League schools, or stressed out overachieving school kids. The young woman, Alexandra Robbins is pretty attractive, but, come on. It's not like she's infiltrating a militant terrorist group or uncovering some plot by the auto makers to make seat belts out of balsa wood. She's writing about college girls, secretive old boys clubs, and nerdy band geeks with 4.0s and pushy parents.
It's like her books cater to the cul-de-sac and minivan crowd, where well-mannered suburban book clubs gather, gush over her carefully- culled scary statistics - "18% of all sorority girls eat caramel IN THE NUDE!" or "2 people from the Skull and Bones have appeared on OPRAH!!!" - and make all the hausfraus et les hommes des maison cluck and tutter and say that "truly, something must be done about this." And, if you're thinking I'm writing all this because I'm kinda mad I didn't go and at least ATTEMPT to buy her a coffee or something, yeah, you're right :) - Ray --- In [email protected], "Hannah Robinson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Why would Gene be proud that you didn't flirt with a hot writer?
