Cheap plane tix to Savannah = reading prep.

I thought, "Hm, a novel set in NYC that has a casual reference to 'Backfat,' that could be a coincidence, maybe." But then a character has a studio in Kensington and I am certain this is a solid graffiti reference.

Feels funny to be reading this one on an electronic device.

Juggling umbrella, wallet, scarf, giant bag, book, etc. on subway platform this morning when a woman, rushing by in conversation with a man, stopped and said, "That book is so good!" and, surprised by early-morning subway platform interaction, I blurted, "Thank you!" Thank you for recognizing my good taste? Thank you for confirming my suspicions, 10 pages in? Thank you, but actually I didn't write it? Thank you for the brief connection, stranger!

Current commute read, almost missed my stop last night.
