In Salon today, Megan Hustad—whose new book,
How to be Useful, I hear is quite entertaining—rehashes this
REALLY tired idea about people’s online profiles and which books they put on there and what that says about them and BLAH BLAH BLAH, OMG I could never date anyone who put
How to Win Friends and Influence People on their Nerve.com profile or whatever people are looking at these days! But seriously, can we
please permanently retire this story idea?? Doesn’t anyone read any other publications anymore, or is this one of those evergreens that editors are all like, “Yeah, whatevs, we’ll get a lot of hits, so what if this idea is old as the hills”? And I don’t mean the TV show, either.
