I though that this was interesting from
_meta_filter:
Because I have a passing familiarity with Bukowski, if I saw someone reading a volume, I'd have some snap insight into what their interests may be. Though I often judge a reader by their book's cover, I could do this with very few poetry books, and I can't remember seeing anyone with a poetry book, or telling me about a poetry book in a long time. Okay so questions for everyone:
1) When was the last time you saw somebody in public reading a poetry book? (ie on the subway, in a park, et al?)
2) What was it?
3) What snap judgments did you make?
