Where: MBTA Green Line (C Line), outbound, between Park St. and Kenmore

Surprised it took Sedaris this long to make a second appearance. This might be my favorite book of his.

Possible sci-fi
When: Thursday 3/25/10, 5:30 PM
Where: MBTA Red Line, going towards Braintree, between Harvard and Park St.
Who: Male, 60s
What: The Hidden Family by Charles Stross
The subject headings for this book are pretty mundane (Women journalists - Fiction), but the publisher, Tor, usually publishes fantasy and science fiction. With no knowledge of the plot, I'll just classify it as fiction.

A couple of Steves
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!

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.
