readingonsubwayGreat article today in the NYT about reading in the subway. It piggybacks on a conversation I was having  last night about how many journalists live in NY, who then write about their city, which then feeds into the city’s self-mythologizing.

But for those of us who have mastered the one-handed read (that sounds dirty), the article vocalizes the usually silent conversation that goes on between reading riders on the subway.  I envy the author her assignment, who wouldn’t want license to  ask why the woman in the business suit chose to read The Hobbit?
