There’s something very satisfying about hearing David Remnick—a Pulitzer Prize-winning writer, editor of The New Yorker, Princeton grad, and overall bright guy—say he’ll watch crap TV and film. He’s a rabid consumer of culture, and we here at Culture Fiend salute him (and feel better about all that time spent watching Jersey Shore).

Remnick will talk about his latest book, The Bridge: The Life and Rise of Barack Obama, at Town Hall tonight from 7:30-9. Tickets are $15 at the door or at BrownPaperTickets.com. We’ll see you there.
