That really made laugh remembering when, before taking my A level Russian
20 years ago, I read it on the underground each day between Notting Hill
and Hoborn [three trains, two changes] on my way to college. I had two
paperbacks, Eng and Russ, one on each knee and got so engrossed every day
that I kept missing my changes and rattling back and forth. I was late
every day until I finished the book.
It obviously lends itself to train reading.
