Perhaps you read the works of a famous writer-the classics-Charles Dickens, Shakespeare.People will think you are an intellectual.You can show off by reading these books-the classics.Or perhaps you read popular novels or romantic fiction-a light easy read.When you go on holiday-maybe to the beach-what kind of books do you read?And what do you read when you're going to work?We're going to hear part of a BBC interview with David Adshead from the Commuter Book Club.A commuter travels to work by bus, train or here in London,The Tube, a train that goes all over the city, mostly underground.And Alice as usual, we have a quiz question.Are you ready?Yes, absolutely.OK.
