"More fetching than a girl with a dragon tattoo has always been a girl with a Penguin Classic. With e-books, you have no idea what anyone is reading. This is an incalculable loss, not just to fleeting crushes but to civilization."

Dwight Garner, our new crush, in his Sunday piece, “The Way We Read Now.” (via classicpenguin)
