When you write a book, you try to not let any comments get you too high or too low. Then along comes one like this and you can't help but say, Hell Yeah! "I read your book after reading a review of it. You write somewhat like Eric Larson." @exlarson The ultimate compliment

The Boston subway system, the T, is shutting down a huge chunk of its 130-year old Green Line for repairs. Just in case you're thinking, 'Wow, somebody oughta write a book about the oldest subway in America!' .... Somebody did! tinyurl.com/twmv5dtc #subway #History @MBTA
