I just started this book. It was originally on the internet. It is about 253 people on a london subway train, each page is a description of a passenger in exactly 253 words. Basically explains what each person looks like, who they are, what they're doing and thinking, and how they're connected to the people around them. It takes place over a period of 7 minutes.

Some of the people are boring and just think about pies, and others are really interesting and are cheating on their spouses or have neat jobs and stuff. I think I'll like it.

That sounds like something I might like. Keep me posted.
