Journalist Diana Beth Solomon snapped a picture last night of a traffic sign at South Hope Street and West 4th in Los Angeles, California that was hacked to read, “Read a fucking book.” The literature-loving prankster who committed this act of civil disobedience is unknown, but news of the sign spread fast as Los Angelenos started posting photos on Twitter.
