Well this is completely off-topic, but the thought was prompted...

I have been working through the Levar Burton Reads podcast while driving, and just last weekend listened to his reading of Amar El-Mohtar's "Pockets," in which a player piano roll plays an important, well, role.

Levar does a short recap at the end of each story... and for this story, I ended up with a /very/ different understanding of the story than he did -- his uplifting, optimistic understanding is absolutely consistent with the words of the story... but ignores that the piano roll is not just an arbitrary object (like, perhaps, the pomander is), but /is a piano roll/, which has meaning in the story's universe. And I think with that considered, the alternate reading is much more sinister...

Anyhow, "Reading Rainbow for adults" is pretty awesome, and hopefully the above hint pushes a few people to check it out.
