noses in books

According to Virginia Woolf the common reader "differs from the critic and the scholar. He reads for his own pleasure rather than to impart knowledge or correct the opinions of others. Above all, he is guided by an instinct to create for himself, out of whatever odds and ends he can come by, some kind of whole." These are my conversations with the "common reader" that I happen to come by in my day to day.

Yes, in the town of the Movie, Television, & Music industries, we Los Angelenos still find escapism through books.

Inspired by(and sister site of) peoplereading.blogspot.com which explores readers in San Francisco
