Have you ever had a synchronicity occur while reading a book?

I have two that I recall: one very simple and the other so involved that it might stretch credulity but I can assure you that, at least from my perspective, it happened.

The first was with William Gibson's 'Idoru'. It was the book I brought along to read on a trip and directly after receiving my ticket I sat down in the terminal and cracked the book open to the chapter I was on and began reading. It was a cute coincidence to find that the character I was reading about was also about to go on a flight, but it certainly became a bit more uncanny when Gibson decided to -- for whatever reason -- mention the seat the character would be in for their flight: the exact same one I'd just been designated. I struggle to recall now but I think it may have been 23? 23B? Something like that. If my books weren't all stored in a box I'd go check just to see how my memory is holding up.

The second was while reading Carl Sagan's 'Contact'. Anyone who has read the book will know the relevance of transcendental numbers, most notably Pi, to the book. When I was reading the book, it just so happened to be around the time that everyone was excited for the big "Pi Day", 3/14/15, which was of special significance to me since my dad was born on 3/14/60. Anyone who knows the story of 'Contact', especially the movie adaptation, will know the significance of fathers to the overall plot.

A few days later I was out for a walk mulling this over and I wrote a very short poem about my dad. I only had a pen, no paper handy, so I jotted it down on my palm and titled it '3.14'. I continued my walk but my course got diverted and I ended up near a group of people, one of whom had just began reciting a string of numbers out loud. Imagine my surprise to realize what he was reciting: the numbers of Pi. I asked him why in the world he was doing such a thing and he explained that he told his friend he had them memorized to "the nth digit" and was simply proving his claim out loud. I couldn't resist showing him the number I had written on my hand and explained I had jotted it on there maybe 15 minutes prior. "Quite a coincidence!" he agreed.

Any of you have similar stories?
