Planes, Trains, and Lanes

Our peripatetic spies spotted the following books being read by their fellow travelers this week. We decided just for fun to try categorizing the readers by age and gender to see if we could spot any patterns. This is what we came up with. Any comments?

20-Something Women
Stephenie Meyer – New Moon
Stephenie Meyer – Twilight
David Sedaris – Holidays on Ice
Sarah Vowell – The Partly Cloudy Patriot

20-Something Men
Stephenie Meyer – New Moon

30-Something Women
Donna Cross – Pope Joan
Nicholas Sparks – The Lucky One

30-Something Men

Middle-Aged Women

Cali Ressler and Jody Thompson – Why Work Sucks and How to Fix It

Middle-Aged Men
Thomas L. Friedman – Hot, Flat, and Crowded

If you spot a title or two as you travel around, please share and we’ll include them in the column. Just send them to raoblog@lu.com
