The bloke on the train next to me was reading Brave New World.
He pulled it out of his briefcase and showed me. I took my headphones out and said "Hey, cool. Are you reading it too?" Stupid question "Where are you up too?"
He showed me chapter thirteen.
I showed him mine. Chapter Eight.
"You're a bit further through than me"
"Yeah"
Then I couldn't think of anything else to say so I put my headphones back in my ear.
I smiled at him when I hopped off the train.
I would have liked to have said more, but it was only until two minutes ago that I couldn't think of anymore conversation. Shame, he was probably a really nice guy.
