On BART yesterday morning, a 30-something man in business attire was standing up and reading "The Collected Poems of W.B. Yeats." This is certainly a diversion from the SF Chronicle and Wall Street Journal I see most men reading on BART (seriously). Because I forgot my headphones and book, I kept an eye on him. Over the course of 15 minutes, he never turned the page! He also would look up often and as people exited the train (he was standing by the door), he would slightly shift his book so that the cover faced the exit.
That's a new pick-up technique! I'm sad to say (for his sake) that no one approached him to comment on his good taste in poetry.
I was really hoping someone would!
Maybe he had a webcam in the spine of that book and is posting BART videos on his own blog :)
