Don Marquis 
Hermione and Her Little Group of Serious Thinkers [EPUB ebook] 

A collection of columns by Don Marquis, better known as the creator of the cockroach-and-cat duo archy and mehitabel. Hermione, an affluent young New Yorker, recounts her life as a wannabe Greenwich Bohemian. She and her little group ‚take up‘ various interests–feminism and the war and transmigration of the soul–but she generally gets distracted and ends up talking about hates. A hilarious book that deserves to be better known.
