When: Wednesday 3/24/10, 6:00 PM
Where: MBTA Green Line (D Line), outbound, between Park St. and Newton Centre
Who: Male, 30s
What: Superfreakonomics by Steven D. Levitt and Stephen J. Dubner
This is one of those hyper-current books that also, I think, has a window in which one can read them - and then the circulation statistics fall off.

Catching up again...sorry for the delay!
When: Wednesday 3/24/10, 6:00 PM
Where: MBTA Green Line (D Line), outbound, between Park St. and Newton Centre
Who: Female, late 30s
What: Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien
I've never read this, and the chances aren't looking good. I think my personal window for this series has closed.

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.
