Chalk it up as yet another one of those choice campus locales where I do not want to find myself on a dark and stormy Sunday night; Lamont Reading Room is not for the faint-hearted. Lest this be immediately dismissed as the hyperbole of an avowed library-phobe, and in the interests of a fair trial, here is a comprehensive list of Lamont’s redeeming features: those heavenly chairs which sink faster than the latest Bennifer venture and, like Gigli, are guaranteed to induce snores in under 15 minutes; the comfortingly kitsch circa 1973 aesthetic...
...same thing with other people. Believe me, I’ve got my own list for “tools,” “douchebags” and the like. (I even have a list of Anti-Chrises, the human particles I avoid completely, lest we annihilate each other in a weird anthropomorphic physics catastrophe.)

Reflexively pro-war and pro-business, the Christians under Falwell, Robertson and, now, Mel Gibson, probably can’t bear to read the New Testament with its constant denunciations of hatred, intolerance and violence...
...this apparent cynicism, online social networks prove endlessly fascinating as long as I continue to subconsciously sort everyone I know into neat little categories. Lest we forget, Harvard’s particular manifestation has also brought hitherto top-secret stalking techniques to the masses—finding out where someone last logged on has become a particularly valuable service with Telnet’s popular “finger” function on the fritz of late. While thefacebook.com isn’t explicitly about bringing people together in romantic unions, there are plenty of other primal instincts evident...
