One Reason New York Doesn't ALWAYS Suck

This morning on the subway...

Across from me: young (maybe fifteen) girl reading The Kite Runner (for school it turns out). Cool.

To the right of me: fifty-something guy, casually dressed, reading Romeo and Juliet. Interesting.

To the left of me: forty-something body builder guy from my 'hood. What's he reading? Why, Pride and Prejudice. WOW.

Oh, me? I'm reading Ian McEwan's Saturday.
