Look around this campus, and you'll see legions of the constantly distracted. In the interest of maximizing their every waking moment, phalanxes of students frantically load up their Collis salads while making plans via BlackBerry, and maniacally flip through sets of flashcards propped up on their elliptical machines.

Although it kills me to say it, I have to admit that the book I read this week, John Haskell's "Out of My Skin," was very postmodern. Calling a book (or a movie, or a pair of sneakers, or whatever) pomo is the telltale verbal tick of pseudo-intellectuals everywhere, I know, but I honestly don't know a piece of work that better earns the distinction.

We listen to music while we walk to class, from personal playlists streaming through headphones or the bells of Baker Tower. We listen to the oldies while we wait in line at Home Plate and Collis Cafe. We can't avoid music in the library, where the pounding bass from neighboring laptops bleeds out and reverberates through the stacks.

Perhaps as a publicity stunt, perhaps as an attempt to fully immerse himself in his material, Wray set out to write as much of his third novel as he could while riding the New York City subway.

The other day in Collis, I overheard someone who appeared to be a Dartmouth admissions officer talking with a visiting high school student and her mother. The admissions officer scanned the student's transcript and explained that the most important thing the student could do in her upcoming senior year was to take on a challenging course load and seek leadership roles in her school community.

All week long I've regretted the choice, as I've been constantly terrified that someone I know will catch a glimpse of its large, bold-faced title and read it as a statement of my own romantic situation.

In his new book, Denis Dutton, co-founder and editor of the go-to humanities web site Arts & Letters Daily, takes an innovative approach to aesthetics, demonstrating that the human desire for beauty is an innate trait that has evolved in us over thousands of generations.

It must be nice to have it all figured out.

Walking down Main Street, it's easy to miss the sandwich board outside of Left Bank Books on your way to the more conspicuous Dartmouth Bookstore. With no display window on the street, Left Bank often struggles to draw customers up to its second floor location.

Sutton, a Dartmouth theater professor, is the author of the new play "Complicit," which debuted this winter at London's Old Vic Theatre. The play was selected for production at Old Vic by actor Kevin Spacey, who currently serves as the theater's artistic director.

Curious to find out just how much of its banality "Revolutionary Road" owed to the book that inspired it, I picked up Richard Yates' 1961 novel of the same name.

In the darkest hour of her struggle with addiction, Carrie Fisher's doctors prescribed a six-day vacation from her medications, during which the actress, best known for her role as Princess Leia, suffered a peculiar type of hallucination: she believed everyone she saw on television was herself. After reading her recent memoir, "Wishful Drinking" (2009), I'm not convinced she ever truly dragged herself out of that hyper-narcissistic pit.

As I watched news coverage of Inauguration Day, I kept trying to silence the imaginary voice of Jon Stewart narrating what I saw on network T.V. I caught myself rolling my eyes at Katie Couric's comments and laughing at the absurd number of times the anchors called the meeting between the Bushes and the Obamas "cordial." In retrospect, I wish I had been more focused on bearing witness to the details of this historic event.
