Seen Reading in TO

Now that I’ve picked up reading again with a vengeance, I’m starting to look for ways to discover new books to read. Julie Wilson writes a blog called Seen Reading, and she probably best describes it herself.

1. I see you reading.
2. I guesstimate where you are in the book.
3. I trip on over to the bookstore and make a note of the text.
4. I let my imagination rip.
5. Readers become celebrities.
6. People get giddy and buy more books.

Think that sounds interesting? Then read how it all got started. I started following her blog because of how original the concept was, but have since started gathering reading ideas from it. Best of all, Julie’s a Toronto native, so don’t be surprised if you find yourself the subject of a new type of fiction if you’re seen reading in the city.

    I’ve unfortunately picked up listening to books on my iPod due to time restrictions. I do miss conventional reading of books though, maybe one day…

    I listen in the car mostly, and thanks to Toronto traffic, I am going through almost a book every two weeks.

    You think Julie will be looking for white earbuds as well? :)
