Books I've Seen People Read on the New York City Subway - Page 2

I've ridden the NYC subway hundreds, maybe even thousands, of times over the decades across four of the boroughs (Staten Island doesn't have the subway). If I can (sometimes it's just too crowded--especially around Midtown--or my hands were full), I'll write down a book I'm seeing being read on the car. Too bad I can't see audiobooks and e-books too, lol. Anyway, it's a long list that has accumulated over the years. Here are a few titles that I particularly remember having noticed.
