Where: Crane Beach, Ipswich, MA
Who: Female, 60s
What: Fleeced: how Barack Obama, media mockery of terrorist threats, liberals who want to kill talk radio, the do-nothing Congress, companies that help Iran, and Washington lobbyists for foreign governments are scamming us-- and what to do about it by Dick Morris & Eileen McGann

Enchiladas & crime
When: Monday 8/3/09, 8:00 PM
Where: Border Cafe in Cambridge, downstairs
Who: Male, late 60s
What: Murder in Vegas: New Crime Tales of Gambling and Desperation, ed. Michael Connelly
I may have noticed this particularly because I just got back from said city. My favorite story titles in this collection: "Rolling the Bones" and "Death of a Whale in the Church of Elvis."

The reader was furiously underlining

Where: MBTA Red Line, going towards Braintree, between Harvard and Park St.
Who: Male, 30s
What: How God Changes Your Brain: Breakthrough Findings from a Leading Neuroscientist by Andrew Newberg and Mark Robert Waldman

Shakespeare - whoever he was
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
When: Friday 7/31/09, sometime in the early afternoon
Where: MBTA Red Line, going towards Braintree, between Harvard and Park St.
Who: Female, 20s
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.
