They were are reading this on the train the other day:
This would be "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows," (the highly anticipated 7th of 7, in case you've been living in a cave somewhere off the coast of Fiji). All I have to say is I've seen a huge number of people toting this 743-page behemoth wherever they happen to be going without guilt or apology. I've heard strangers talk about it on the train, there was someone reading it in church on Saturday...I haven't seen this kind of unity of the masses in awhile.
Given this, it seems we've been going about this "World Peace" thing in a way that's all wrong. Clearly, what we need is a lovable wizard to lead the charge...and now that Harry's finally got some time on his hands, who knows what could happen...

Reminds me of the Lord of the Rings phenomena in the 70's. When the book came out, I read that you would see graffiti with "Frodo Lives" and all sorts of good stuff written about.
Surprisingly enough, not one single Harry Potter book sighting in the NYC subways. Could be 'cause I haven't paid attention, but wonder if it has something to do with east coast subway riders vs. Mid west L riders.
