I like my book covers. I just wish I could keep them nice. These are pretty but they look too much like student binder things.

I like the stretchy ones better cuz come can fit trade paperbacks and hardca=over but it is a good idea for mass markets

[Jeane]

That makes me think about school, when every year I was covering all my books with paper!!! So, no not for me.

When I see people reading on the tube or plane with a covered book I think they are reading porn and don't want anyone to know :-D

You know, I have never been embarrassed to be seen reading something. I read quite a bit of erotica and many manga, I don't really care if people notice. LOL, one time at the coffee shop, a guy tried to hit on me by asking what I was reading because "the cover looks interesting". I told him, truthfully, that it was a 17th century Chinese erotic novel. He looked embarrassed and didn't try to talk to me again. I think it's kind of funny what people will read in public...myself included.

I am sooo nosey when I see people read on the train. I am alsways curious. I never really cared what people thought of me on the books that I am reading. NYT had an article on how people get judged by what they read on the train. I think it's funny!

Reminds me of the scene in Lost in Translation...When Charlotte is on the train and sees the guy reading a manga (that looks remarkably like Video Girl Ai, I think) which happens to have a lot of nudity... LOL

[Malena]

Donna i'm with you on that! I'm always curious to see what people are reading.

I like those! Thanks Carrie!

[Jackie]

I think those are a good idea, but it kinda would drive me crazy not knowing what book my neighbor is reading. I'm one of those nosey people who read other people's covers.

It's funny, I've seen a lot of 30ish women on the train lately reading hardcovers of the Twilight series - but they've taken the covers off.

That said, I kind of love my Sony Reader because no one can tell what I'm reading - it's nice sometimes (especially in Grad school where, trust me, everyone is judging what you're reading! lol).
