VOTM: What's the most unusual experience you've had at a reading?
KOTKIN: My most unusual experience at a reading was the time a woman approached me afterward and told me my words (about a chicken) deeply moved her. She then started bawling, dabbed her index finger with one of her tears, and slowly placed her wet finger on my forehead as a blessing. I wasn't sure what to say so I went with, "Thank you."
