I'll start with "I Partridge" Keep getting some really funny looks when I burst out laughing at some point on nearly every page. Probably because I read it in my head in the voice of Alan Partridge. I have to stop reading out of pure embarrassment.

When I used to train commute, I'd often read journals en route.
Given the often gory nature, I'd be discreet about it.
One day I got up to shift my bike, and put the journal on the table (closed I thought).

A chap walked past me and said "naughty boy, reading stuff like that" and got off....

When I got back to othe table, I'd obviously slammed the mag down, and it flopped open on a half page spread of a high quality image of a manky, infected c0ck......
Joy.....

I love a good train crash, read several books whilst on trains! Likewise plane crash books when on planes.

'Bad Wisdom' by the guy from KLF. It has a rather disturbing scene involving Nuns on a train, on the way to the north pole...

I bought the audiobook rather than the physical book just so I could hear it read by 'him'.

Do glossy mags count? In which case, too many to mention

My copy of Fisting for Beginners got me a few looks on the Friday commute.

Red for Danger, and Hidden Dangers, along with beyond Hidden Dangers are good reads about train accidents, along with

Best book to read on a train,

Chavs, the demonisation ofthe working classes,
