Remember books? We do. So do a lot of people who ride Muni all around San Francisco. @azurelunatic spotted one recently reading a particular book that caught her eye.
#sfmuni Just spotted someone reading The Princess Bride. Yay!
What books have you seen people reading on Muni? Let us know, and also check out Between the Lines, a site devoted to this very topic.

This gentleman’s knickerbockers and wing tips deserve sartorial respect and the award for Tweediest Muni Rider of the Month. Although this fine lad’s tweed hat is a close contender.
Seriously, we hope no one was injured. And we hope the authoritehs caught this nasty culprit.
@Barz33 claims this is a water heater. We think she might be an accomplice to the crime.
Well, I’d be alarmed, too, thanks to that ghost in the window.
Thanks for sharing, Josh.
Sometimes, tolerating big-city transit requires imagining your happy place or staring a hole through your iPhone. That’s why we love this story about New York City subway Good Samaritans who jumped into action and dragged a passenger from the train after a woman accused him of groping her. Does the Muni humper ring a bell?
The video of the whole takedown is above, including the accused perp getting arrested.
We know, we know, innocent until proven guilty. But don’t you just love the idea of a little subway justice?
