Slate Reports on Literary Crushes:

An old chestnut that never seems to spoil, Slate asks a bunch of famous people to reveal their first literary crushes. This is a lot like asking someone to discuss their beloved’s annnoying habits at their wedding rehearsal dinner. The circumstance precludes an honest answer. So no matter how self-effacing or down-with-peeps a media personality is, they are certainly not going answer something uncool like “Danielle Steel” even if it’s the truth.

This is not one of Slate’s prouder moments (via Readerville).
