A photo Sonya Worthy of the blog People Reading took of me on BART tonight.
As I was taking BART home tonight I met a woman named Sonya who runs a blog called People Reading. I overheard her doing this funny, very informal interview with a guy reading a computer programming book in the Montgomery Station about what he was reading and what he likes to read. She took his picture, and a picture of the book and then got on the same train as me. As soon as I sat down and pulled out my book–Wuthering Heights–she started craning her neck to see what I had. As she was rather near, I held it up so she could have a look and before long she was sitting next to me asking me the very same sorts of questions. Suffice it to say, soon I was posing for a photo and discovered tonight that I’m now on her blog.
I think it’s a great idea, figuring out what people are reading and trying to engage them about books. We both rode BART to 24th St. and chatted about Cervantes and Witold Gombrowicz and then went our separate ways, but I’m so thrilled to learn of her blog. I confess that I’m rather like Sonya, very curious about others’ books though rarely do I jump right in to ask them anything. Good on you, Sonya. Here’s the post she did on me.
