As soon as you see someone reading &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;The Da Vinci Code &lt;/span&gt;or &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Angels and Demons&lt;/span&gt;, you know exactly who they are. If you really, really are dying to see what religion that professor will blaspheme next, please, keep it by your bedside. I will be less inclined to judge you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Are some offenses worse than others? Oh. yes, yes they are. Quoth Libby:&lt;br /&gt;"A couple reading &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Angels and Demons &lt;/span&gt;on the Greyhound&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;. &lt;/span&gt;a couple. TOGETHER."&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First, the sheer grossness of a couple reading any book together is douchey enough. Can't you do anything separately? Second, is &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Angels and Demons&lt;/span&gt; a "couple" book? Do you have heated debates that always, inevitably lead to hot, hot, Dan Brown-inspired lovin'? That is just icky. You are making all of us who see you reading a Dan Brown book together think that very thing, and that's just rude.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Congratulations, Dan Brown. You are not only an author, but a relationship-saver.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6383647147742587664-2404530480275616921?l=douchebooks.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://douchebooks.blogspot.com/feeds/2404530480275616921/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://douchebooks.blogspot.com/2009/02/dan-brown.html#comment-form' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6383647147742587664/posts/default/2404530480275616921'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6383647147742587664/posts/default/2404530480275616921'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://douchebooks.blogspot.com/2009/02/dan-brown.html' title='Dan Brown'/><author><name>Rachel B.</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16581995954511611052</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_1KISgbtyQkw/STBH-ShiR1I/AAAAAAAAABI/fUA69KbBIy4/S220/Photo+114.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_1KISgbtyQkw/SZ7x1lDXO7I/AAAAAAAAAB0/-cgMkzMdvY0/s72-c/9780552150736.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6383647147742587664.post-1447314835910393415</id><published>2009-02-20T09:53:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-02-20T09:59:54.374-08:00</updated><title type='text'>What is a douchebook?</title><content type='html'>Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to douchebooks.
