I've found that it happens less and less often, now that my reading in public is generally on my iPod; people probably think I'm some self-important business-y type, checking my oh-so-critical e-mail, when really, I'm devouring <i>Oliver Twist</i>! Welcome, thelibrarynook, and thanks for the compliment! Yes, there are so many groups online full of people who won't think I'm crazy for starting conversations about books that I should probably have an easier time restraining myself. Though self-restraint has always been a wee bit of a challenge for me... :) Bib, you must have “that kind of face,” *grin* I’d love it if more people would start bookish conversations with me!

With reference to this post I don't think I often start conversations with people in RL about books (apart from my lovely OH who has no choice but to listen!) I just save them up for all the online groups I am in lol! Firstly just wanted to say I love your blog, some great posts so far!

I remember when I was living in So. Cal. I was sitting in my favorite Mexican restaurant, rereading a Stephanie Plum novel and the people at the table next to me started talking about it. Asked me a few questions and gave me some recommendations. It's happened a few other times too, mostly at casual restaurants and cafes, since if I'm eating alone, I'm reading!
