Already read Swimsuit, and this Sunday I was checking out a furniture store in my area with a copy of Clive Cussler's The Silent Sea in one hand, and a salesman commented favorably on it.

i actually spotted someone reading a David Icke book about some birther BS and how George soros was behind it, on my way home on the E train.. was about to laugh out loud then realized if a dude is insane enough to take that book seriously, then he may be insane enough to attack me..

Every week, this article is completely useless. These aren't photos of people reading in public, its just a book list. I have a hard time believing it isn't made up on the spot by whoever has to write this piece of d*gshit page filler. HuffPo, drop this one for good.

How We Die..is a wonderful book. I read that many years ago and it was incredible and thought provoking. If you get a chance read it......GREAT

I definitely agree about Chelsea Handler's books. They had me laughing out loud in public. Not much can do that to me.
btw It sounds like we have the same commute! Weirddddd

I know - it takes a lot to make me actually "lol." What's your commute?
08:31 PM on 03/27/2011
i mostly take the f and and the 6 between brooklyn and the upper east side

Chelsea Handler's books are by far my favorite travel reads. They're so conversational and hilarious, it's like you're hanging out with an old [corrupt] friend!
