How to be Cool by Thomas W Hodgkinson
Cool can't be taught. That's the received wisdom, yet this wry, entertaining compendium by Thomas W. Hodgkinson (author of the indispensable How to Sound Cultured) shows that, on the contrary, anyone can increase their cool quotient by learning from the masters and the methods of the past. It's never an easy journey. But to set yourself on the path to true cool, you'll need this invaluable roadmap.
This is a cool bookI'm a 69-year-old Republican who lives on a tree farm and drives a station wagon. I know everything about being uncool. And Thomas W. Hodgkinson is cool with that. Read his book and find out how you're a fool to be cool if you can't dare to be square. It's all cool. -- PJ O'Rourke
