Where: MBTA 554 bus, inbound
Who: Male, 50s
What: Odd Hours by Dean Koontz
I would like to have been reading, too, but I had to put in my headphones so as not to hear the loud rantings of the man in front of me on the decline of civilization vis-a-vis Michelle Obama's sleeves, and Sonia Sotomayor's membership in "La Rosa" (aka "La Raza").

Where: MBTA Red Line, going towards Alewife, between Park St. and Harvard
Who: Male, early 50s
What: Retreat, Hell! by W.E.B. Griffin

Their sons had video games instead
When: Friday 7/3/09, 4:00 PM
Where: O'Hare Airport, Chicago, Terminal C
Who: Female, 30s
What: Theory of Relativity by Jacquelyn Mitchard
This was one half of a couple, both reading library books, but I didn't write down the husband's at the time. It was some kind of spy novel - a stereotypical sort of "his and hers" kind of pairing.
