The Oct. 3 issue of the New Yorker holds the answer. The magazine had a terrific Talk of the Town story featuring a couple of used bookstore employees who visited the Lost Property Unit of New York City Transit to pick up books left behind by passengers. So what did they find? A nice selection of titles, including “Ulysses,” “Romeo and Juliet,” “The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn” and, lest anyone get the wrong idea entirely, “The Firefighter’s Workout Book.”
