So if you've spent any time on various corners of the nerd internet - and let's be honest, you're reading a blog: you have - you've probably seen the above quote, delivered by the inimitable John Waters. It's funny, right?! Books are sort of nerdy, but if we make them sexy they'll be cool again! Sex and books guys! Great combo! We're gonna make books cool!
Yeah, I didn't think so. It's a fun image and a witty line, but frankly if that's all your interested in Tumblr isn't that hard to navigate. The fact of the matter is making books cool is gonna require slightly more effort than being selective about who you sleep with. It's going to require you to read, and then talk enthusiastically about, books. And that's significantly harder than browsing the internet.
