Books in Motion #1
I’ve long maintained that contrary to all signs of doom, people are reading all the time and everywhere. And now, in the tradition of the late, great Seen Reading, I want to drive that point home with a record of good books I see being read out and about. These are signs of hope, you see, these books in use. And today was the middle aged woman in the subway, white with brown hair, wearing a bulky winter coat (and weren’t we all?) reading a battered copy of Who Do You Think You Are? So there. Now doesn’t that make you feel better?
I used to do entire blog posts on what I saw people reading on the bus. It fascinated me. Probably not anyone else, but definitely me.
