If you ever commuted to work, you'll enjoy this ride reading
Anthony Buccino's latest collection "THIS SEAT TAKEN? Notes of a Hapless
Commuter" about the joys and follies of getting to and from work in the
city using public transit.
For five years, Buccino wrote about commuting and transit in
metro New York-New Jersey for NJ.com. His transit blog on NJ.com earned the New
Jersey Society of Professional Journalists Excellence in Journalism award for a Media
Affiliated blog. Many of those blurbs are gathered in this collection.
Commuters who knew he wrote for NJ.com would seek him out
and tell him their commuter tales of woe. Often they would simply commiserate
and try to see who had a worse ride in that day. But more than once, Buccino
was button-holed after a scathing piece on, say, homeless people using subway stairwells as bathrooms, and told that it was cleaned up within hours of his writing
about it online.
Available soon.
