I try to read the most seatmate fear-inducing book as possible on flights.
(not really, it just happens, Maybe just the subconscious.)
And I myself will be wearing pink taffeta as chenille would not go with my complexion.

We're Literary 2: To Read Makes Our Speaking English Good
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

I was reading a book in which the New Madrid fault goes off (what's the proper word for that??) and there's all kinds of madness and people die and shit. That was kinda freaky, as I was heading towards the midwest...

For some reason, prior to the Death!Plague! books, every airplane book featured a plane crash as the central theme. Or, you know...genocide.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix
Okay, that's a very weird coincidence. In fact, the only reason I got it was because my brother is an infectious disease specialist and he's doing some work with the staff at Vector, flying off to Siberia every few months. It's world-saving sort of stuff and I'm extremely chuffed. So he said I needed to read Biohazard and while I'm glad I did, I'm also very unnerved by it.

If I only had a brain...
Thanks, Robin. So the Literary Manager is also the dramaturg?

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Betsy--Well, sometimes. you can be one without being the other, but due to how small and broke most theaters are these days, most places only have one--or none for that matter. You might like this site: [link]

Take your fingers off it, don't you dare touch it, you know it don't belong to you, to you...
I should become one of these; I could do it, I'd love it, and "dramaturg" is really fun to say!

Are you ready to be strong?
So a dramaturg is like an editor, but for plays? Cool.

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
Man, now I want to be a dramaturg when I grow up.

Well, yeah! It is a strange coincidence.
