Via The Paris Review
"Can you recommend any books that will make interesting people approach me if I read them on the subway? During A Moveable Feast, people came up and quoted entire passages verbatim, and it really enhanced the reading experience?" This all important question answered here.
I was once reading On Chesil Beach by Ian McEwan in a cafe and the waiter came over and said, "you know there are two other women in this cafe reading that same book right now." Anyway that fun anecdote is just about the only time I've ever been approached while reading.
Yesterday someone from work was saying that reading on an iPad or Kindle sucks because you can't judge or be judged on what you are reading when you can't see a cover. I guess when we all have E Readers and people approach us on public transport we'll assume we're about to be mugged rather than chatted up.
