Attention, men: books are sexy!

A man with a book has become so rare, such an object of fantasy, that there’s a popular Instagram account called 'Hot Dudes Reading'.

IT was one of the most erotic things I ever heard. A man I know said he was reading all the novels of Jane Austen in one summer.

At first, I figured he was pretending to like things that women like to seem simpatico, a feminist hustle. But no, this guy really wanted to read Northanger Abbey.
