People reading books
After interviewing over 1,200 readers, I've discovered the beauty and rarity of a given book being read at a given time, instead of, say, packed away in a box somewhere. I've also discovered that I've not only been chronicling the popularity of books, but also the diversity of individuals. What goes on inside our minds is evidenced by and influenced by what we are reading, have read, and the inner dialogs we have with authors.

The Road is a wonderful book. Very distressing, but wonderful nonetheless.
Also, this is a fabulous idea for a blog. I intend to lurk quite often.
I'm not surprised you didn't have much of a conversation with this guy as he was reading The Road. It's an amazingly well written book, but left me nearly too depressed to interact with other people for about a week after I finished it.
Thanks for showcasing the art of writing and the joy of reading.
