Beyond a 10! Princeton is very dear to my heart, having lived there for several years. Walter Kirn wrote The Holy Anarchy of Fun, another favorite article I read on Readup. I recently posted The Power And The Silence, a disturbing piece worthy of reading. I’m a fan, the man is brilliant. He did go to Princeton and Oxford, has written 8 books, most notably Up In The Air which was made into a movie starring George Clooney.
One of the best articles I've ever read. Delightfully paradoxical in the sense that the author so convincingly portrays himself as a total fraud with such exceptional writing that obviously proves otherwise. But perhaps I've just been duped as well. Can't recommend this one enough!
His college years make for an eventful and dramatic story. I think I’m glad mine were more ordinary.
