Slate Reports on Literary Crushes:
An old chestnut that never seems to spoil, Slate asks a bunch of famous people to reveal their first literary crushes. This is a lot like asking someone to discuss their beloved's annnoying habits at their wedding rehearsal dinner. The circumstance precludes an honest answer. So no matter how self-effacing or down-with-peeps a media personality is, they are certainly not going answer something uncool like "Danielle Steel" even if it's the truth.
This is not one of Slate's prouder moments (via Readerville).
So, yours *was Danielle Steel?
