Middle of a series
When: Wednesday 6/10/09, around 6:00 PM
Where: MBTA Red Line, going towards Ashmont, between Harvard and Park St.
Who: Male, 20s
What: Rabbit is Rich by John Updike
On a train packed with Red Sox fans going to the second game of a series with the Yankees. This book was massive; I can't imagine trying to read all the Rabbit novels.

Not "an" autobiography, but "the" autobiography
When: Thursday 5/28/09, 8:30 AM
Where: MBTA Red Line, going towards Ashmont, between Harvard and Park St.
Who: Male, early 20s
What: Clapton: the Autobiography by Eric Clapton
This particular T ride was frustrating, because half the car was reading books, but the only book whose title I could see was this one.

Where: MBTA 73 bus, outbound
Who: Female, 30s
What: Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone by J.K. Rowling
I wish I could read these for the first time again. Of course, my memory is so bad that it probably would be like the first time.
