It has become fashionable to create and follow projects like a photo a day or 'my shoes' life from day to day' etc
And we thought - why not?

Every day almost one million of muscovites and 'the guests of Moscow' uses the metro. It so happened that many people live in one art of the city but direct to another art for work or studies. It means that every day you have to spend at least 40 minutes under ground. 

People who use metro every day don't like just to look at each other, besides it might be not convenient especially if it's the rush hour. So you have to DO smth otherwise you feel that you lose time. The best and the most interesting way is to read. People read morning newspapers, books, magazines, textbooks... They read real paprebooks, they use i-pads or readers... People read modern literature, Russian classic books, cheap detective stories that 'kill time', as we say, people learn languages and prepare for exams. All this happens in the metro, twice per day...every single day... Are you still surprised that Russian are most well-read people?
