...premier of Bound and Gagged: the Life and Times of Harry Houdini). Avid Book-Reader hates to be disturbed, especially by Glamourpuss’ hourly trips to the supply-closet-turned-bathroom because disturbances jog her mind back into the reality of the horribly cramped seats and tummy-piercing tray table. In her mind’s eye, Avid Book-Reader is in the arms of Fabio or some other bottle blond Adonis. Glamourpuss notes that Avid Book-Reader insists on re-reading pages 307-10. Ineresting.
