In the elevator yesterday

Two office workers enter. One is carrying James Frey's MY FRIEND LEONARD.

#1: Is that what you're reading right now?
#2: Yeah, I just started it last night.
#1: Were you surprised?
-pause-
#2: Yeah, you wouldn't think it would have a pink cover.

#2 wasn't liking the book very much yet, but self-described as a person who always has to finish a book, no matter how bad it is. A third coworker chimed in from behind me to say that she would always leave the bookmark in a book she didn't like much, but almost never went back to it.
