Enigmatic Man

For quite some time now, on my way to work, I've been passing by this man who always sits on that same bench, engulfed in his read, smoking... Drizzly or hot, snowy or freezing cold, he'd be there in that same posture, never looking up. One day I was really surprised to notice he was flicking through a Kindle instead of his usual thick book.
Hmm, very tempted to chat him up some time when it feels right...
