I know that’s passé and that none of the cool kids are reading books these days (other than <em>Harry Potter</em><span style="font-style: normal"> and </span><em>Twilight</em><span style="font-style: normal">, of course). Of course, periodicals are OK, even better if you read them on your phone, but bust out a classic by Jane Austin and prepare to be emasculated, even if you’re a chick.</span></p> <p
