From my experience most are more than willing to flip a page or two and share some small talk before gett‘ on with their day.

Yep, I got the smell of newsprint all right, a mouthful of it in fact... smooth Luke, smooth. I’ll leave the chomping to Pac Man. My favourite coffee shops have this fantastic quality whereby they bring people together and position them in close proximity to one another whether they know each other or not. This intimacy is the key for me to enjoy more than just the front page of a newspaper. I slide into an empty spot between a couple of unsus- pecting patrons and begin to work the page-flipping magic. -_r- v- “.1 um. lunyu. The turning point in my quest for a way to read the newspaper came one evening while reading the Free Press all alone in my apartment. I managed to flip my way through the first couple of pages using a some- what sloppy technique which saw me saliva-ing up a finger and dragging it over the paper to help draw the page up and over. I shake my head at the mere thought of it, but in typical Luke fashion and in my quest for efficiency I decided to remove a step from the process. Lurching forward with tongue extended I descended on the page I was trying to flip, made contact, rotated my head to draw it to the left and quickly realized that there‘was a problem. To et a better understanding for those who are able- bodies, set up a newspaper in front of you on a table and try flipping pages without muscular control of your hands and only partial control of your arms. What you will likely find is the paper in a crumpled mess and yourself red in the face with frustration. I’ve tried the online alternative, a much more navigable and user- friendly interface for me, but it's just not the same, I want the smell of newsprint wafting up from the article that I'm reading between sips of my bean juice.
