Unrequired Reading: July 30, 2010

Just because I’m on a mini-vacation, it doesn’t mean that Unrequired Reading gets to take a week off!

Jon Hamm: too damned good looking to succeed in movies?

* * *

Kelly Oxford: too damned good looking to be taken seriously? (or humorously?)

* * *

New York: too damned many employees to count? (Seriously: Make it your end-of-summer project to read The Power Broker.)

* * *

ESPN: too damned subservient to LeBron James?

* * *

Jamie Moyer: too old to feel pain?

* * *

Pale Fire: too damned good of a poem to be trapped in a great novel?

* * *

Bicycles: too damned traumatic for one girl to handle?

* * *

Reality TV: too damned intrusive and stealing a piece of your soul?

* * *

Young Jeff Bezos: too damned clever to be kind?

* * *

Alan Moore: too damned sick of superheroes to keep away from spoken word albums?

* * *

Penn and Teller: too damned innovative to play in New York?

* * *

Great magazine articles: too damned many of them for me to read? (I think I’ve only read four of these; I’d have put Ron Rosenbaum’s The Devil in Long Island on it, too.)
