Fine literature on the commute

Amidst all the Dan Brown and Ken Follett books, Scott Stearns noticed a commuter with a different kind of book:
... Today I noticed a man, perhaps an academic of some sort, reading Marcel Proust's "Remembrance of Things Past". Literature is not dead in the world, quite yet.

Nothing beats reading "Pride & Prejudice & Zombies" on the T...and the guy next to you turns out to be reading the exact same thing

Fine Literature
Hey, I've been reading Thoreau's Walden on the Franklin line for weeks. But I have to admit that I can only handle about six or seven pages at most before I have to switch to something like Slave Girls of the SS. :D
Okay, seriously, my other book is currently The Still Small Voice of Trumpets by Lloyd Biggle. Good book, but much lighter reading then Walden - although I have to say that Thoreau is actually pretty damn funny!
