[quote=Anonymous]Taking video/photos of someone who is just reading is pretty creepy. They're not doing anything to you, leave them alone. If someone was actively bragging or talking about how great Infinite Jest was loudly on the metro, sure, different story. But someone engaging in a quiet private activity? It reminds me a but of that description of Matilda's father. "With frightening suddenness he now began ripping the pages out of the book in handfuls and throwing them in the waste-paper basket. Matilda froze in horror. The father kept going. There seemed little doubt that the man felt some kind of jealousy. How dare she, he seemed to be saying with each rip of a page, how dare she enjoy reading books when he couldn't? How dare she?” [/quote]
