Second sighting of a favorite
When: Wednesday 3/10/10, 5:30 PM
Where: MBTA 73 bus, inbound to Harvard Square
Who: Female, late 20s
What: The Unbearable Lightness of Being by Milan Kundera
This person was taking a break from reading while talking on her cell phone, so I probably shouldn't record her, but I'm going to anyway, because it always makes me happy to see people with this book.

Repeat sighting
When: Wednesday 3/10/10, 5:00 PM
Where: MBTA 554 bus, inbound to Waverley Square
Who: Female, early 30s
What: The Harvard Psychedelic Club: How Timothy Leary, Ram Dass, Huston Smith, and Andrew Weil Killed the Fifties and Ushered in a New Age for America by Don Lattin
A repeat reader! (The same one who was reading Monsieur Pain.) This particular reader always has a new book, so she either reads very fast, gives up on books before they're over, or is reading a large number of books at once.

Subtitles galore!
I have some serious catching up to do. GO!
When: Tuesday 3/9/10, 5:30 PM
Where: MBTA 73 bus, inbound to Harvard Square
Who: Female, 60s
What: Why we love dogs, eat pigs, and wear cows: An introduction to carnism: The belief system that enables us to eat some animals and not others by Melanie Joy
An interesting title, for sure. The Boston Vegetarian Society has an ad along similar lines that I've been seeing lately in the T.

Written by a former mujahideen leader
When: Monday, 1/25/10, 10:15 AM
Where: MBTA Red Line, going towards Alewife, between Park St. and Harvard
Who: Female, late 20s
What: Confessions of a Mullah Warrior by Massod Farivar
Male readers were catching up for a minute there, but females have pulled far ahead. Maybe men are more secretive about their reading, or maybe I'm less likely to notice them.
