Your book is passing by

When: Friday 5/8/09, 8:30 AM
Where: MBTA Red Line, going toward Braintree, between Harvard and South Station
Who: Female, 20s
What: The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao by Junot Díaz

I've heard an awful lot about this book; I might try to read it soon. The author used to (and might still) teach at MIT, which the train passed as we were going along. This kind of physical proximity of reader to author probably happens a lot in university towns.
