Im reading a couple books at once, 1984 by George Orwell and Mad Honey by Jodi Picoult. I just got to the part in Mad Honey where one of the main characters recites a poem: Oranges and Lemons say the Bells of St. Clements… Which is a pretty large part of 1984. Weird coincidence.

A couple of months ago I read the Emperor of All Maladies by Siddhartha Mukherjee and then immediately read Taste: My Life Through Food by Stanley Tucci, where towards the end of the book he references the Emperor of All Maladies.

Weird coincidences, and I feel like they happen a lot as I read more. Has this happened recently to anyone else?
