Lush, I vaguely remember something somewhat similar happening to me... I think. Not nearly as psycho. But yeah, a long conversation that was a little too friendly.

For me it's usually airports or airplanes. That's when I take LotR with me everywhere I go (it's my home away from home; nothing makes a hotel room feel cozier than reading about Mordor...) Anyway, I've sat next to a few people who got chatty about my book. Some of the conversations were fine. Others, I was mighty glad they ended.

Of course, ending unappealing conversations while on business travel is easy for me. "Yes, I'm on my way to a navy facility." Shuts 'em right up. Can't imagine why. [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]
