Aha! That explains why that girl on the #6 subway train was surreptitiously photographing me.  She was going to submit my picture to the Hot Guys Reading Books website. I’m not sure the cover of my book got into the picture, so whoever you are, FYI I was reading Critique of Pure Reason by Immanuel Kant.  So – does that qualify me for your gallery of sensitive but hunky book lovers?

I’ll be looking for my picture on the Hot Guys Reading Books website. This is from their “about” box:

“There are plenty of attractive men in the world, but unfortunately few of them that are avid readers. Welcome to ‘Hot Guys Reading Books’ the blog that scours the internet for examples of luscious literary men and gathers the evidence in one place.”

So, all you hot guys out there, next time you go out, make sure you wrap your copy of Girls Gone Wild in the jacket of a dense and incomprehensibly profound work of physics or philosophy.  You never know when a candid camerawoman will be secretly capturing your image for the Hot Guys Reading Books website.
