Signed, also haven't finished the LotR books, have read no Harry Potter, That Book with Rabbits, and whichever book Sawyer was reading in this episode. I should walk around in smock with a giant P branded in the front for Philistine.
Man. And here I thought we had something in common.
I was a big geek last night and tried adding all the different combinations of those number to find anything significant. I didn't really find anything (although I had fun number crunching).
Yeah, I added them together and got 108. Which is 9 x 12.
AND OMG 9/12 IS MY BIRTHDAY!!!11
I think he was reading "A Wrinkle in Time" this ep. He must have found a kid's suitcase this time around. With that long of a flight, I'm surprised there wasn't more reading material on board.

Shunned! Shunned by the Brain-Twin!

It's funny that the only person we've seen reading so far is Sawyer, the resident redneck. I'm rather charmed to think of Sawyer being enthralled with children's books.

Yep, definitely A Wrinkle in Time. I think the writers are having fun showing Sawyer reading incongruous things that the audience is likely to recognize.

But he's not reading children's books, per se.
Watership Down
is ostensibly "about bunnies," but it's far more complex than that. And
A Wrinkle of Time,
while written for a younger audience, if I recall correctly, is also much deeper than your regular child's fare.
I'm really waiting for this to manifest itself in his character. Like, is he actually getting anything out of these books? Was he a reader before, or is he truly that bored?
I loved his Lord of the Flies moment last week. And I do think it's really interesting that we always see him reading. Of course, he may be the only one reading because he's hoarding all the books.
Until the writers say otherwise I am convinced that he is a reader and that the choices are what's available.
He chould be reading Danielle Steel (okay, I don't keep track of the 'chick' rack at the airport) or Clancy or Grisham.
Or, worse yet. "The Da Vinci Code".
It is amusing to note that the Wrinkle in Time books are very up-with-family, heartfelt, loving and (mostly) vaguely Christian. I would not describe Sawyer as any of these things, but clearly nobody packed any Sartre for their intercontinental journey.
