Ha! I completely understand...I'm a classics nut too! The book from my story is Wilde's "The Picture of Dorian Gray," which is my favorite. I'm not sure I would have even said anything if it weren't for the fact that I just got too worked up over that book and couldn't help myself. Only one of my all-time favorites could have made me strike up a convo with a stranger like that!DATo wrote: ↑05 May 2018, 17:19That never works out for me. I noticed that the book the last woman I bumped into was reading was 32 Ways To Cut Cocaine . Who knows? It might have been a beautiful relationship, but I'm more into classics, so I just kept walking.Camille Turner wrote: ↑16 Mar 2018, 10:43 Yes, I have! And the conversation went well considering I later married this person. Thank goodness for books -- they led me to my hubby!

I had a feeling this question would evoke some interesting answers. I love both of your stories. And it is so funny how you've never talked about a book or maybe even heard of it and then all of a sudden you feel like it is everywhere. Someone in my family was just talking about The Picture of Dorian Gray so I downloaded it a few days ago to read.Camille Turner wrote: ↑07 May 2018, 19:06Ha!

I know exactly what you mean! I am so excited you're going to read it and I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.kfwilson6 wrote: ↑17 May 2018, 13:37I had a feeling this question would evoke some interesting answers.

I haven't done that before and no one has asked me before.kfwilson6 wrote: ↑13 Mar 2018, 14:29 I am always curious to know what other people are reading. Although I have never asked a stranger what he is reading, I do take a peek at the cover of someone's book if I come across them reading. Have you ever seen a stranger in an airport, coffee shop, library, etc. and interrupted him to ask what he is reading? How did the conversation go and did you end up reading the book after talking to him?
