Monday it was raining, and I didn't see a single copy of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.
Tuesday I counted 17 copies over the course of the day - riding the M and D trains in the morning, having lunch at Subway, and taking the R and D train in the evening.
Wednesday I was off sick.
Thursday I saw 12.
This morning on the M there were six people IN THE SAME CARRIAGE reading the book. Two of them were forced to stand up while reading because there were no seats.
My heart goes out to their poor, cramped hand muscles.
I've noticed the same thing on the MAX here. On Wednesday, I saw 1 woman sit down to another who was already well into the book. She looked down at the page the first woman was reading, suddenly jumped from her seat with an "oh no!" and sat somewhere else with her book, which she was probably only 200 pages in to. I've been leaving mine at home...
2 weeks before i can read mine..! i made nels hide it in case my willpower weakens.
