Books on fire

In this post: Booking Through & Third Sentence Have you ever read a random book left in a waiting room or on a park bench, etc., and did you like it? Often I wonder when will I experience this. I mean finding a book left somewhere which happens to be something I would like to read. Yesterday I browsed the latest arrivals at Kinokuniya. By the time I noticed that I have been standing by the shelves for almost an hour on 3-inch heels, I was tired and sat on a bench where I found some YA fiction left by the inventory staff. I read parts of the first chapter, but aware that the book had to be accounted for in only a few minutes, I put it back on the bench and went to discover a very attractive spot - the Charles Dickens Bicentennial Anniversary collection. Ah... party! Now if i found one of those left on a park bench, I would warm that bench. *More bookish answers at Booking Through Thursday Book : The Wise Woman by Philippa Gregory 3rd sentence : "The walls were orange and scarle
