What’s more sexy than a dude being literate? The written word is romantic, informative, invaluable. James Franco knows what I’m talking about (seriously he’s a legit brainiac. If you ever need to be humbled, read his Wikipedia page) So naturally we think it’s hot when a dude gets caught in the act… of catching up on his reading. Check out these 10 stars exercising their brains.
YUM. Jake Gyllenhaal. Even if the book is just a fashion accessory, he’s got my attention. Check out more famous hunks in the gallery, reading everything from literary gold to fluffy stuff. Hey, everyone gets to indulge in some rag mags once in a while. [Check out more at TheFrisky]
Who’s your favorite literature-lovin’ celeb? Who would you want to see on the list?

JGL is reading a book he published to a group. XD
But it’s a cute book! And it’s a book that came out of his project hitRECord.
I feel a bit sad at this post. I love guys who read, but it’s almost like the whole grammar thing. People who use proper grammar are hot. People who read books are hot.Weren’t these always givens? Like people who eat food are hot. And people who prefer oxygen to carbon dioxide are hot. =P

it really bothers me when people fold their books like magazines like the one in your first picture. i admire them for reading, but please don’t murder the book.
guest
I will get more excited when I know what they’re reading. I mean… most people can read.
