Own only what you can carry with you; know language, know countries, know people. Let your memory be your travel bag. - Alexander Solzhenitsyn

Go Read it Yourself!
Reading books that draw comments from those around you if often strange. I think the two I've gotten the most comments about are Cunt and Why I Hate Canadians. Cunt could not have been less subtle - yellow book, giant pink flower. And Canadians don't take too well to seeing a title about why you hate them. Lately I had an odd experience on a subway. I was reading Model World by Chabon and the oddest man starting talking to me. At first it was just about the book and where he could find "a book that will make me laugh." Then he oddly asked me why Americans drink such large coffees. Weird.
