It’s been at least a year since I first came across Seen Reading, a blog run by Torontonian Julie Wilson that I once called “the Gossip Girl of book readers.” Since then, Julie has spotted hundreds of readers on the TTC, blogging them in her very unique fashion. Just before Christmas, I tagged along with Julie along the Bloor West subway line to get her take on readers in Toronto. Music by Caribou.

A really great concept… as an English grad, former teacher and current writer, I *totally* appreciate Wilson’s point of view. I always snoop into what people are reading on the subway, and sometimes have the urge to say something when I see a stranger reading something I feel close to… mmmm print literature.
My favourite part was when she said, “whether reading something really heady or a recent Giller winner…”
Rock on, Julie.
Such very very cool websites–Seen Reading and Dear Toronto both!
