Because books.

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.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

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.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I've found his all-about-the-rock-star mentality to be much more tentative than his brash reaction at the end of last night.

I'd have explained it better if it actually made sense to me, Amy.

No worries! There's no explaining anything more complicated than the multiplication table to me, pathetic as that is.

You know, we're going to find out this whole thing was powered by the mind of a tiny Israeli.
