At least, not if they're Simone de Beauvoir. I just started reading The Second Sex (and by just I mean, on my lunch break, ergo, the introduction) and I am already blown away by her prose style. In a good way. I've had this on my immediate "To Read" shelf for over a year and have been avoiding it because it is a fat, smart book. I remember trying to read Ethics of Ambiguity and Being and Nothingness and totally failing. Proof positive that I am smarter now than I was in high school.
I suppose the college education I've gotten in the meantime was good for something after all. (Now if only I could make it be good for something profitable, I'd be all set.)
