If you've ever wanted to hear silver fox Anderson Cooper say the words "she aimed her grinding hips straight at salami boy," to the sounds of some bow-chicka-bow-wow tunes, this video's for you.

Cooper added himself—yes, himself—to his own RidicuList last night. After apologizing for questioning Snooki's literary prowess in the past, he proceeds to read some particularly scintillating passages from the pint-sized Cheeto's bestselling novel, A Shore Thing. "It's hard to tell which is my favorite chapter in her first book—'Karma Is A Bitch, Bitch,' or 'Make Me Beg,' or 'Vin Diesel is Hotter Than Jesus'—Joan Didion told me that was one of her favorite chapters," he says, before calling Snooki "a modern-day Jane Austen... or at least her sketchy second cousin."

Snooki, who now has a second novel coming out called Gorilla Beach, Tweeted: "Thanks for reading my NY Times Bestseller Mista Anderstand Cooper. Love to help you get a 2nd book. Let's go tanning and talk about it," which is a date we'd give our kidney to witness.
