Ah, smart people. Where are they, again?
Man on the train this morning: "You know, no one's ever going to marry a girl who reads books like that."
Me: *too bewildered for a witty comeback, scion of the spirit of the staircase*
The Book: The Coming Plague: Newly Emerging Diseases In a World Out of Balance, by Laurie Garrett.
And now, The Spirit of the Staircase: "No, sir, I'm never going to marry a man who doesn't understand why I read books like this."
In other news, people continue to bemuse me, but the world has Bolivian Hemorrhagic Fever, and I'm just going to stick with that as my happy thought of the day. What's your happy thought?
