A friend in silicon valley tells a story about Facebook. He's a guy about my age (late 40s), and like almost everyone else in the Valley he recently joined this social networking Web site that was originally for college kids but now has become the hip place for business folks to connect. My pal, who teaches at UC, Berkeley in his spare time and is a well-read guy, joined a Facebook club called "Reading Is Sexy" and checked out a chatrnthread titled, fav author normal people have never heard of?" Among the writers who garnered high praise were such super-obscure names as Margaret Atwood, Jorge Luis Borges, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Edith Wharton and Eugene O'Neill. Of the last it was said, "He's an American dramatist and he's amazing!"

机译：硅谷的一位朋友讲述了一个有关Facebook的故事。他是一个与我年龄相近的人（40岁左右），与硅谷的几乎所有人一样，他最近加入了这个社交网站，该网站最初是为大学生而设计的，现在已经成为商务人士联系的理想之地。我的朋友在业余时间在加州大学伯克利分校教书，并且是个博学多才的人，他加入了一个名为“ Reading Is Sexy”的Facebook俱乐部，并查看了一个标题为“最喜欢的作家，普通人没听说过”的话题。受到高度赞扬的作家包括玛格丽特·阿特伍德，豪尔赫·路易斯·博尔赫斯，斯科特·菲茨杰拉德，加布里埃尔·加西亚·马尔克斯，伊迪丝·沃顿和尤金·奥尼尔等超级默默无闻的名字。惊人！”
