Plus, english paperbacks are nice size to carry around.

This happened to me so much as well!!
I used to waste 3 hours in public transportation every day getting to and off from work for 3 years.
So I would read in trams and buses. And I would make elderly people especially bewildered, because they cant read English and they get so curious so they lean in trying to read and give me funny looks.
In my country nobody reads in public transportation. Only exception is newspapers
