I was never terribly impressed by cool people. James Dean? A scenery-chewing ham. The Fonz? A clown in a leather jacket. Yes, from the time I was a kid, I always thought cool was overrated. The cool kids in school were either sadistic jerks or so obliviously self-centered that they couldn't see how ridiculous they were. Cool? Bah!
But Easy Reader, he was one cool cat who I really liked. Here was a guy who was really cool, in every way. I can't say he was a role model for me, as I could never have hoped to be as cool as he was on his nerdiest days. But I must admit, I thought he was the coolest.
Imagine my surprise when Easy Reader turned out to be Morgan Freeman!
