Look at Courtney Love: wearing a sophisticated black ensemble, carrying around reading glasses, and shooting off the many, many titles of the books she's reading now... including The Power Broker: Robert Moses And The Fall Of New York. Hey Courtney, call us! We'd love to discuss Moses with you. Anyway, Love rattles off the name of a number of other books she's reading in the below video, and she's got a helpful hint for fellow bibliophiles: put the embarrassing titles you're reading on your Kindle so no one sees them.

Also, she has the credit score of a 16-year-old. [via xojane]
