My most favourite  bookstore. Carla, thank you for sharing your vision with the world. I’m honoured to have been accepted as part of your family. You will be greatly missed.

Author, Gary Shteyngart did a reading @ Politics  & Prose in DC, where I  recently payed a visit to sign copies of The  Subway Diaries. It’s not directly a “Subway” quote but  close enough through association  w/P&P & it resonated  so I thought I’d  share it  w/ you all:

“Each year with the iPhone, I loose about 6% of my humanity. In 18 years, I’ll be more app than man.”- Author, Gary Shteyngart
