on books and reading

Last week, Dwight Garner wrote a fascinating piece on commuting and reading: The Long Ride Home. I don’t read much on the subway anymore. It got to be too much heavy I was carrying around. These days I make sure to have enough knitting and if I remember my iPod. There is always at least one magazine in my bag, but unless I just came from the library, rare is the day I pull out a book to read on the subway.

Finished*:
Itty-Bitty Nursery** by Susan B Anderson
Elizabeth Zimmermann’s Knitter’s Almanac by Zimmermann, Elizabeth

* I probably finished more than this, but that was what I had finished and had time to pre-post …

** Yes, I know I promised a full write up of Itty-Bitty Nursery, but I didn’t have time to give it justice before I left for Maine.
