Chicago is Turning Its Train System Into a Moving Library

To motivate commuters to read more, the Chicago Transit Authority will leave books by Martin Rothblatt, Michael Strahan, Scott Shane, and Missouri senator Claire McCaskill in passenger cars from October 12 to 18. Individuals are encouraged to peruse the books at their leisure—but only until they reach their final stop. After that, they’re instructed to leave the works behind for another person to enjoy.
