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, it's funny. We went to war never looking to come back, but it's the real world I couldn't survive.

Because books.

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

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
If you leave off the 42, you get "Nonprime number of 1's in binary expansion" where n=3 to 7 yields our sequence.
AHA!

The status is NOT quo.

Oh no, it can't be! If Nilly's mind powered the island it would be peaceful and good, and the polar bears would give rides between the caves and the beach.

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.
Brenda is me. Last weekend on my plane trip, I took romance, comedy, historical fiction, detectives who fight crime, and Batman and Lucifer comics.
I thought I should be prepared in case I sat next to someone reading any of the Left Behind books.

Me too. Plus, a ton of magazines, none of which I ever end up reading because my flying routine is to take an original formula Dramamine and sleep through it.

Ah, but maybe Nilly's subconscious has a dark side, like in Forbidden Planet.
Books are the most important decision for any long trip. You never know what you're going to feel like reading when you're six hours into a 12-hour flight.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
I don't fly all the often, but when I do I tend to bring books I've already read so I'm not annoyed by having to stop in the middle of a chapter to board or disembark or whatnot. I think last time I flew I read Snow Crash.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I don't fly with books, since I'm cheap with carrying stuff. One good Scientific American lasts for most flights.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Oh, hell. I'm flying tomorrow and I have nothing to read but some old Business Weeks and a huge hardback that I don't want to carry.
