Where: MBTA Red Line, going toward Braintree, between Harvard and Park St.

Prisoners on the moon
When: Thursday 3/25/10, 5:45 PM
Where: MBTA Green Line (C Line), outbound, between Park St. and Kenmore
Who: Male,20s
What: The Moon is a Harsh Mistress by Robert Heinlein
For some reason I thought this was a much older book (it was published in 1966). Maybe I was thinking of The Moon and Sixpence.

Not that kind of better

Where: MBTA Green Line (C Line), outbound, between Park St. and Kenmore
Who: Male,20s
What: Better: A Surgeon's Notes on Performance by Atul Gawande
I had assumed this book was about health care, but I guess it's more of a self-help book, which is sort of disappointing.

Naked on the T

Who: Male, early 30s
What: Naked by David Sedaris
Surprised it took Sedaris this long to make a second appearance. This might be my favorite book of his.

Possible sci-fi
When: Thursday 3/25/10, 5:30 PM
Where: MBTA Red Line, going towards Braintree, between Harvard and Park St.
Who: Male, 60s
What: The Hidden Family by Charles Stross
The subject headings for this book are pretty mundane (Women journalists - Fiction), but the publisher, Tor, usually publishes fantasy and science fiction. With no knowledge of the plot, I'll just classify it as fiction.

A couple of Steves
When: Wednesday 3/24/10, 6:00 PM
Where: MBTA Green Line (D Line), outbound, between Park St. and Newton Centre
Who: Male, 30s
What: Superfreakonomics by Steven D. Levitt and Stephen J. Dubner
This is one of those hyper-current books that also, I think, has a window in which one can read them - and then the circulation statistics fall off.

Catching up again...sorry for the delay!
When: Wednesday 3/24/10, 6:00 PM
Where: MBTA Green Line (D Line), outbound, between Park St. and Newton Centre
Who: Female, late 30s
What: Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien
I've never read this, and the chances aren't looking good. I think my personal window for this series has closed.
