Hot chicks are different today....

The virginity thread generated a lot of response. The virgin lot of the nerd, ah, so cliche. And yet now I'm having a really weird moment, I'm at the local wine bar and a very attractive hostess^1 is recommending books in the science fiction genre to another (far less attractive) hostess. So far I've heard Ender's Game, Hyperion and Snow Crash tossed off as appropriate for a "newbie." Is this the Twlight Zone??? Am I a freak to think this is freaky? I haven't had a sip of wine, so it isn't the alcohol. Update: She's reading American Gods I notice (taking a break). Update II: Smokin' ScienceBlogger Shelley comments. For the record, the key issue for me was the intersection of science fiction && female physical hotitude. Update III: On second thought, I think the Princess Bride era Robin Wright Penn is probably a better description of the "Hot Girl." And another tidbit for those wanting to make this about science & women, I am to understand that this individual (I am a regular) is a history major. 1 - Think Reese Witherspoon's more attractive brown-haired cousin.
