When: Friday 8/14/09, 1:00 PM
Where: Crane Beach, Ipswich, MA
Who:Female, 40s
What: Finger Lickin' Fifteen by Janet Evanovich
I was hoping to get some more "beach reading" sightings than these two, but I was too busy having my own fun, I guess.

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."

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

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.
