Hi everybody,
My names Darren, I am new to the board so wanted to make a post to hopefuly get to know a few of the existing members
Anyway I was just wondering what everyones vote is for the No.1 book that makes you look cool "to be seen reading in a public place". Now before we go any further, let me stress that I dont agree with this type of Tom Foolery...books should be read for the right reasons, but I do believe that some books have a certain kudos about them, and Joe Public might be seen reading these books on the tube to gain credibility amongst other commuters...(perhaps you have caught them out for holding the book upside down??)
I guess ultimately this is also in the eye of the beholder i.e. Whilst I might think somebody is "cool" for reading Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas...somebody else might feel the same way about Bridges of Madison County.
So let me finally refine my question:
If you were on a train / the tube - and a chap / chapess were sat opposite you, what book would they need to be seen reading for you to deam them "cool".
Phew...I got there in the end
