When: Friday 7/31/09, sometime in the early afternoon
Where: MBTA Red Line, going towards Braintree, between Harvard and Park St.
Who: Male, 40s
What: Shakespeare: The World As Stage by Bill Bryson
From what I can tell, this is a biography of Shakespeare, about how difficult writing a biography of Shakespeare is. I've never read anything by Bill Bryson, though I see his books everywhere.

Got way too excited about this one

What: The Time Traveler's Wife by Audrey Niffenegger
This is one of my favorite books ever in life, and I am hoping that the movie adaptation coming out next week won't be too disappointing. This book profoundly affected me; cf. me crying at the trailer, just because I know what's going to happen.

Last of the West Coast sightings
When: Thursday 7/30/09, 10:00 AM
Where: Long Beach (CA) airport
Who: Male, 40s
What: Darwin's Radio by Greg Bear
I was intrigued by the title, but not so much by the WorldCat summary:
"A retrovirus is discovered which provokes miscarriages in women, followed by a second pregnancy without sexual intercourse. As scientists race to unlock its mysteries, fears grow it may herald the end of the human race as we know it."

When: Thursday 7/30/09, 10:00 AM
Where: Long Beach (CA) airport

What: Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close by Jonathan Safran Foer

Where: Monte Carlo Hotel, Las Vegas

Apparently the sequel to Good in Bed. The woman was in the pool, leaning on the edge with a drink and a book. It was 110 degrees outside.
