You're a pretty serious reader

So, while waiting for hip hop (which sort of didn't happen), the following conversation occurred.

I'm reading The Voyage Out when one of the personal trainers approaches me (who has not previously been featured in this series; totally new guy):

"Is that a new book from last week?"

Momentary out-of-body experience where I wonder how often he has noted my reading habits/existence, given that I really do try to fly under the radar.

"Yes, sir."

"Did you finish the one from last week?"

"Yes, sir."

"Wow; you are a pretty serious reader. You have this routine going."

I'm not sure where the "sirs" came from. I think it must have been the day that I was having.

Anyway, this one struck me as particularly funny, because just the other day (at the gym!) I was having a conversation with someone else who was questioning whether I actually finished the books I read, since every time he sees me I'm reading a new book (he doesn't see me that often).
