the first number there, got voice mail. It did offer that I could page him, which followed to it asking me to enter a call back number. Didnt try it, dont wanna give out my number.

The second number, a girl answered, and I promptly hung up, because I'm a chicken that way^_^

I sent out an email just saying "Do you know Lisey Landon?"

looking at sail.com it appears to be simply a cruise site, very likely not arg, in fact, I would bet my computer on it;)

So I'd imagine that email will get a "O_o" from the server admin, if not a bounceback message.

I hate to say this, but that poor girl in Maine is probably going to have to get a new phone number after that book comes out^_^

It's also possible that they changed the year, isn't it? Is 1993 a year of any signifiance in the book?

hmm, interesting indeed. 1993 isn't of significance yet, i'm still just a little over halfway through. An indeterminate year in the 70s, 1987, and the winter of 1995-1996 have shown up in lengthy flashbacks so far, in addition to the bulk of time the book spends in 2006.

As for the poor girl in Maine with this number, weren't 555 numbers invented to avoid just this kind of thing?

Another possible relevancy: The copy of the book I'm reading may not be the final version released to stores. I suppose the numbers could be changed before October.

9+9+1 = 19
2+9+8 = 19
5+9+3+2 = 19

3 out of 5 sets of numbers ain't bad. Very Happy

@ ItWasntMeISwear

I think I should do more research before offering my computer up for grabs:/

Good catch;)

There's a possibility that the numbers will be changed/removed in the final copy of the book. Using 555s tends to look pretty unclassy, so perhaps the publisher's marketing folks will replace them with something usable; ARG-ish or not.

EDIT: I need to start reading entire threads. Sorry for the rehash. Embarassed
