LOT. I always had a couple of books and magazines in my bakpack. That
was when I was living in Brooklyn and working in Queens. Now that I live
about 10 and a half minutes from work, all I ever read are the
newspapers, about 3 to 4 of them a day. Well I started reading this one
book. 'Loving Women', by Pete Hamil.
Won't tell you what's its about until I get to the end of it, but I read
the auther before, I think. One of his books is named, 'Forever'. If you
come across this title, pick it up, you won't be able to place it down.
The story is about a young kid who joines The Navy, and he's from
Brooklyn, NY. Sounds fimilar, huh? He gets stationed in Flordia after
coming off of leave staright out of Basic Training. This book in some
ways is mocking my life. But one thing its doing is jumping ahead, to
his adult years at the beginning of each chapter, then it jumps back to
when he was in the service. Its a good read, can't put it down. I ride
the trains just to read it. Funny thing about that too.
Saw an article in Sunday's NY Times about people who read on the trains.
Some people can, and some people can't read on the trains. Its the
rocking of the trains that get me into the rythum of reading I think. I
can also sleep on the trains, haven't missed my stop yet.
