30 Times Commuters Saw Others Reading Such Strange Books While On The Subway, They Just Had To Document It
InterviewCommuting to and from work or school is a great opportunity to focus on some of the things we might not find the time for during our busy schedules. Like reading. Since you’re stuck on the subway (aka the metro or the tube depending on where you’re from), you might as well sharpen your mind with some great literature.
However, some of the books that people read on their commute are so interesting and peculiar that others couldn’t help but snap a photo and send them to the Subway Creatures Instagram page. This community has over 2.1 million followers on IG and is dedicated to sharing all the weird things people see on public transit. Scroll on down, upvote your fave New York City subway book covers, and let us know what you like to read on your commute, dear Pandas.
Rick McGuire, the founder of 'Subway Creatures,' told Bored Panda that the subway always has the most interesting and unusual people because commuters are forced into a confined space and have no choice but to deal with each other. "The NYC subway is still one of the most efficient ways of getting around and if you need an audience, this is the perfect place to find one. This can sometimes work out for the best and the worst," he said.
Read on for our full interview with McGuire, as well as for Bored Panda's chat about productivity during commutes with certified career coach Rita Friedman.

This book is pretty interesting if you're a low key bio nerd 10/10 recommended. And great book to have in the guest bathroom. That way people are not stuck reading the ingredients of the hand soap
Mansplaining effing sucks. My male cousins would always mansplain to me. Now, I girlsplain to them.

Fun fact about Alabama, there is no reverse cowgirl because you don't turn your back on family.
Depends on your definition of "dead". There was a case in 2011 a Danish group of students drowned in an icy body of water. Their hearts were stopped for several hours. All seven of them revived. There are stories like this all over, where people we think are dead/should be dead, get up and resume their lives.
This is what every alien slave owner says before his alien slave girls escape and kill him.
You can buy outrageous book covers to cover the real cover. People would rather think you are reading the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Clitoris than reading the new Twilight book. Others that are real are just there to generate interest like "Will My Cat Eat My Eyeballs". Same thing happens with some academic essays I have seen. Just the shock value.
