Although he found "The Real Animal House," the memoir by Chris Miller about the fraternity that inspired the movie, so disgusting, debased, misogynist, chauvinistic and at times revolting that it deserved to be hurled into the nearest dumpster, Christopher Buckley could not put the book down. A more reliable indicator of Buckley's literary sensibility and his sense of humor than this "self-indicting admission," however, is Buckley's refusal to quote any of the aforesaid obscenities and vulgarities.
