Seattle, long recognized as one of the most literate cities in the US, is living up to its reputation. The city now has a bus-riders book club.

Books on the Bus is a new program started by the non-profit mass transit advocacy group, Transportation Choices Coalition. Every three months they will highlight a new book for transit riders to share and discuss.

SUSAN CAIN: The Power of Introverts

People once labeled me “anti-social” because I preferred to read my kindle than talk to them. Let's be educated.

The Power of Introverts: A Manifesto for Quiet Brilliance

This is one of the greatest misconceptions about introversion. We are not anti-social; we’re differently social. I can’t live without my family and close friends, but I also crave solitude. I feel incredibly lucky that my work as a writer affords me hours a day alone with my laptop. I also have a lot of other introvert characteristics, like thinking before I speak, disliking conflict, and concentrating easily.

Introversion has its annoying qualities, too, of course. For example, I’ve never given a speech without being terrified first, even though I’ve given many. (Some introverts are perfectly comfortable with public speaking, but stage fright afflicts us in disproportionate numbers.)

But I also believe that introversion is my greatest strength. I have such a strong inner life that I’m never bored and only occasionally lonely. No matter what mayhem is happening around me, I know I can always turn inward.

In our culture, snails are not considered valiant animals – we are constantly exhorting people to “come out of their shells” – but there’s a lot to be said for taking your home with you wherever you go.

The Book Thief

“He was the crazy one who had painted himself black and defeated the world.    

She was the book thief without the words.  

Trust me, though, the words were on their way, and when they arrived, Liesel would hold them in her hands like the clouds, and she would wring them out like rain.” 

-Markus Zusak
