Literary Underground
One Sunday afternoon this holiday season, as the literary professionals were putting finishing touches on their year-end lists of best books, citizen critics were busy just reading. On a No. 6 train between Astor Place and 125th Street full of shopping bags and bundled-up passengers lost in books analog and digital, we asked underground readers for their reviews.
Wow, what a great variety- and someone took the trouble to draw the portraits to make it more meaningful and personal. Much better than those people in the back of Good Reading magazine who get found in camp grounds and travelling round Australia. Bookbrainz
