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.

Of course, he may be the only one reading because he's hoarding all the books.

I think Occam would agree with you. (Though even the fact that he IS hoarding books is adorable. God, I'm so easy.)

I tend to pick a light mystery that I can finish in a day for a flight. Way too often it has been a pick from the airport shops because I forget to bring something from home.

Totally.

I ususally travel with at least three or four wide-ranging choices, supplemented occasionally by a couple of others picked up in the airport, on the theory that I don't know what *precisely* I'll be in the mood to read. YInsanityMV.

Or, worse yet. "The Da Vinci Code".

He probably had six or seven copies to use as kindling.

And I do think it's really interesting that we always see him reading.

Sawyer strikes me as the type whose mind is always busy, looking for something to do, something to scheme about, and being on the island with nothing to do must drive him batshit. I'm not sure he was a big reader pre-crash.

Also, I wasn't as upset as others were at Charlie's beahvior last night, especially in the last scene. I thought Hurley would have continued with the story of the numbers and the lottery, etc., but was waiting for Charlie's initial reaction. And after admitting to heroin addiction, hearing, "I'm a frickin' millionaire" must have seemed like a joke, especially since on the surface it doesn't seem like a big bad secret.

I thought Charlie's behavior was a little forced, as written. It's not like he and Hurley were such great pals that "No thanks, I need some alone time" should have generated such a strong "Okay, fine, Mr. CRAZY!!!" reaction. It seemed very manufactured to me.

Eh, to me that fit right in with his all-about-the-rock-star mentality. Though to be fair I don't think he really went to the crazy place until he saw all the bottles of water and knew that "going for a walk" wasn't all there was to the story.

If you leave off the 42, you get "Nonprime number of 1's in binary expansion" where n=3 to 7 yields our sequence.

I doubt that means anything, though.
