FOX 411's Roger Friedman expends some column inches today examining Charlize Theron's reading habits.

In an item creatively headlined "Charlize Theron is Smart," (we can almost hear her chanting, Homer Simpson-style, "I am so smart! S-M-R-T!") Friedman looks at these topless paparazzi shots of the Oscar-winning actress and flagrantly disregards everything other than her copy of Rian Malan's memoir My Traitor's Heart: A South African Exile Returns to Face His Country, His Tribe, and His Conscience.

A famous person who reads! We wonder what other books Ms. Theron might carry around with her or fan herself with on the beach. Luckily, Friedman has four guesses:

You kind of imagine that she's also reading Alan Paton, Nadine Gordimer, J. M. Coetzee, etc.


Well, ever since Etc. won the Man Booker Prize, everyone's read his work.
