        @HeerJeet None of my own, but I once moved seats on the DC Metro after spotting a dude highlighting "The Kindly Ones" with great enthusiasm.

        @HeerJeet studying books on genocide, ethnic conflict, & the psychology of killing are fine ways of clearing a few nearby seats.

        @HeerJeet it's not all bad: I got picked up on a bus by a young lady who saw me reading Harry Potter.

        @HeerJeet The Times has some good reporters, but I don't want to get caught reading the Commentary section.
