I think book blogs, and our own personal experiences like this one you describe, put the lie to the old idea that reading is an isolating activity.Carl V.

I often peek at covers - ok I confess I always try to see what people are reading, but I don't talk very often, so it's interesting you have made a whole group out of riding the train and reading! Books are great conversation starters, aren't they?<br /><br />Chris: see above, I just confessed to the very same thing. I can't resist trying to see what people are reading, just to be nosy. I'm so happy to see people reading too!<br /><br />Geraniumcat: It was a great start! I really enjoyed the Rickman, very much. It did fit this autumn, doesn't it? and you are so right, not so scary, but very atmospheric, which is just as good sometimes. I keep lending my copies out to people! So far they've come back to me.....<br /><br />mariel: oh yes, I want to see what everyone is reading! strangers, friends, family, I love to see what has people's attention. I wonder why that article thought people who read dont' talk much, since apparently we all have no problems talking to anyone especially about books! lol<br /><br />Deslily: I think it's called curiosity. We have to know what someone else is reading - I always think, if I don't know the book, will it be one that will blow me away? that is superb? or if it's one that I read, is it one I enjoyed? yes, curiosity....<br /><br />Kailana: I've started eating too many carbs in an effort to comfort myself over the lack of daylight! It really is awful to come home at 5:30 in pitch black, isn't it? I always think it's not so bad, and then the time change happens....<br /><br />Literary Feline: I think it's wonderful when it does happen, when we do make contact over a book. Anywhere, anytime, it's fabulous to meet people who read, isn't it?Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09095246748581382752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6145452263098688113.post-41536322713652419522010-11-15T01:20:13.328-05:002010-11-15T01:20:13.328-05:00I do love moments like that!

I really, really enjoyed it, and it was perfect for the season, but didn't think it was the scariest by any means. I've alwats got them from the library up to now, this was the first I'd bought, and I think I may have to start re-reading from the first, and buy copies :-)Jodie Robsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02442935205880334932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6145452263098688113.post-49052159998572957532010-11-09T07:39:35.413-05:002010-11-09T07:39:35.413-05:00Books are great conversation starters.

I know, secretly I look at books everyone is reading around me, too, just to see what people are reading. Since books get us talking to people, I don't see that as a handicap, more as a way for us to get over our shyness, which is a good thing!Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09095246748581382752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6145452263098688113.post-24597934621411109062010-11-08T23:47:06.322-05:002010-11-08T23:47:06.322-05:00Oh what a great story, Susan :) I've had many ...Oh what a great story, Susan :) I've had many conversations in public with strangers about books...books are like magnets for me :p I just HAVE to know what someone's reading if I see someone with a book, lol. And if it's something I love I'm quick to say something about it if the person even pretends to glance my way. But aside from that I'm VERY shy in public.chrisa511https://www.blogger.com/profile/05793512698366676453noreply@blogger.com
