We usually leave the book-biz scoops, such as James Frey getting a million little dollars for a new novel, to the NY Times and our friends at Publishers Weekly. But little ol’ Trainjotting has something interesting from the tweedy book world: Nick Paumgarten, author of the greatest commuting story ever told in the New Yorker, is pondering a book on commuting.

Paumgarten told Trainjotting he’s had numerous offers to do a commuting-themed book, “but I’m not sure it excites me enough.” 

Commuting not exciting enough? C’mon!!!
