Ruslana  +  476363 Wed, 13 Feb 08 09:37 AM Hi all! In your country, is it usual that people read books in transport? If yes, have you ever noticed that they read books in a foreign language? I'm asking because I'm a bit surprised at the fact that I can see more and more people in Moscow metro who are reading books in English! Ruslana Joined on Sat, Dec 17 2005 Senior Member 3,812

	Francesca  +  476401 Wed, 13 Feb 08 11:03 AM Yes, it's usual that people read books and/or magazines here. I've always seen Italian people reading Italian things and foreign people reading things in their own languages, but consider that I've not taken public transports anymore since I graduated, so the habits could have changed now Francesca Joined on Tue, Oct 11 2005 Contributing Member 1,626

I'm one of those people who reads in foreign language generally... helps to keep the language active. Although, since I don't have the usual turkish look, people usually take me for a tourist.

	Lawyee  +  476610 Wed, 13 Feb 08 09:11 PM When using public transport, I always read something, though usually it's not a beletry, rather things from work. And what is worse, recently I often open my laptop instead of reading papers Just this week a Slovak book publisher said that he noticed the fact that people read a lot in public transport.
