I love to spy on what people read on the subway. Last week, I had a first: I saw an older gentleman reading NO NAME by Wilkie Collins. About 1/3 through and deeply absorbed in it! What's the most interesting or unusual book you've seen someone reading in public lately?

This was the edition the gentleman was reading.

(I have not been on the NY subway in 30 years, Ms N., but it is nice to know folks still read Wilkie.)
