\nNovember book: \;Here One Moment \;by Liane Moriarty
\nAside from a delay\, there will be no problems. The flight will b e smooth\, it will land safely. Everyone who gets on the plane will get of f. But almost all of them will be forever changed.
\nBecause on this ordinary\, short\, domestic flight\, something extraordinary happens. Peo ple learn how and when they are going to die. For some\, their death is fa r in the future&mdash\;age 103!&mdash\;and they laugh. But for six passeng ers\, their predicted deaths are not far away at all.
\nHow do they know this? There were ostensibly more interesting people on the flight (th e bride and groom\, the jittery\, possibly famous woman\, the giant Hemswo rth-esque guy who looks like an off-duty superhero\, the frazzled\, gorgeo us flight attendant) but none would become as famous as &ldquo\;The Death Lady.&rdquo\;
\nNot a single passenger or crew member will later rec all noticing her board the plane. She wasn&rsquo\;t exceptionally old or y oung\, rude or polite. She wasn&rsquo\;t drunk or nervous or pregnant. Her appearance and demeanor were unremarkable. But what she did on that fligh t was truly remarkable.
\nA few months later\, one passenger dies ex actly as she predicted. Then two more passengers die\, again\, as she said they would. Soon no one is thinking this is simply an entertaining story at a cocktail party.
\nIf you were told you only had a certain amoun t of time left to live\, would you do things differently? Would you try to dodge your destiny?
