Should I write a book?
I have so many LIRR stories and I could use yours with your permission. Of course I would give you all credits.
I've never done anything like this before..kind of fun, no?
has anyone written a book?

Re: Should I write a book?
I think that would be cute!
Would it be fiction or non-fiction?

I think it would be funny. You could use mine but I don't have that many. The only one was that family from Syosset that I wrote down their conversaions.
There's a website with stories from the rails. I'll try to find it.

oh really? i thought my idea would be original..
I guess it is..a book that only Long Islanders would buy. Maybe I'll donate the proceeds to traumatic brain injury research..

non-fiction all the way...but people outside of LI wouldn't believe it.

Re: Should I write a book?
Well on the other post people mentioned things from other train lines. Maybe you could get contributions from othe areas of the country.

that's a good idea and it would appeal to more than just LIers.
hmm..I have to give it some thought.

Re: Should I write a book?
I'd write it as thinly veiled fiction. Or at least consult with an attorney regarding libel law if you write it as non-fiction. Not sure if the LIRR would be able to sue you for writing things that may be percieved as negative. You know?

It's been ok. In the last 4 weeks, I have only commuted 6 times!! I have been away on business and working from home. I have been taking the 7:31. After that, the parking is an issue, although I have only tried one lot - the one where the ticket office is.
yes, my coworker wrote a book - It's called Same Sex In The City. She used to be a lesbian, but is not back to guys. I havent read it yet, but I will some day. If you are serious, I can ask her for some tips.
