Get London Reading

Check out this flickr set of Get London Reading installations. Quotes from various books set in London are printed -- on the street, on windows, on trash -- in the locations to which they refer. Above: Monica Ali's Brick Lane. I love the way this emphasizes the way a city is layered with literary meaning -- a project like this would be great in any number of cities. I'd love to see it in New York, Toronto, and Paris, too. Via [BB-Blog].

Wow, that is cool, especially for a city so heavy with literary allusions and past. But yes, even Toronto could do it, I think.
