Anthony is wondering why you are reading that book.

"Why are people reading books on the train?"

"I'm sure you're going to tell me why?"

"Huh?"

"What?"

"It's just these placid faces. It's these dead stares they have. They are sitting still and reading these books."

"I would do the same on a moving train."

"It's just a deadness. I want to ask them why they are reading what they are reading and why. I can see it's fiction, I can see that most of it is action."

"What is so interesting about people reading books on a train? Seems pretty normal don't you think."

"I don't think it is in this case. I can feel that it's different on this train ride."

"Ok."

"It is as if they are reading about lives that intensely better than themselves."

"Yeah."

"But they know it. They realize this."

"Yeah

"Why?"

"What do you mean why?"

"I don't know. I just can't imagine someone reading about our life."
