These are, at least the first ones, just as seriously silly as I expected 😅

Airplane readings, Emma has been considering herself an expert on people's lives and also consistently wrong on all accounts. More weirdness is about to come up.

Ah, the story gets more sane now, in the actual year 1998.

Now stuff is getting weird. Ragle has seen reality replaced with mannequins, and they can listen to the "outside" with a crystal radio.

Some folks live above ground making propaganda for their people, and have something called leadies working for them. Much more people live in underground "ant tank" colonies, building said leadies for warfare agains the Soviet bloc. The third World War begun around 2010.
Now some undergrounders have to go above, which'll provide some eye-openers.

Uh-oh, the bible-thumpers are assaulting the outcast mutated folks, while the telepath gang is approaching with their flying machine. Alsø: six-toed Sophie the neighbour is all grown up and helps our gang.

They were ambushed by the religious freaks, managed to escape but got jumped on by the more or less mutated Fringe people. And David's spidery uncle is ogling his fiance in disturbing ways, which is, well, disturbing.

The Telepaths were found out, by suspicious religious freaks. So now the younglings are on the run, young Petra communicating over continents, it seems.

So the cousin got caught - still no idea what happened to her - and an aunt is vainly trying to talk sense to the main character's mother. The cultist father is raving mad, like a zealot.

The post-doomsday cult had to be a big influence on the fantastic Nemesis the Warlock's Termight Empire: the cuckoo-religious freaks have similar catchphrases on their walls. "Watch thou for the mutant!"and "The devil is the father of deviation!" for example :D

So being home with the poor and noisy family made Fanny appreciate the rich and better-educated dude so much more. Maybe she'll marry him and also decide to act in that play that she was so much against.

Fanny went home. A poorer, noisier, and smaller than the Mansfield park she had gotten used to. Ah, the sadness and disappointment!

MjL is finished with The Day of the Triffids
The kid had noticed the smartness of sorts the triffids had, by not running on autopilot and observing them. Also, the farm group being totally surrounded by countless bloodthirsty triffids sounds nightmarish.

He found Josella alive and well. Then at some point found out that the religous freak compound had been wiped out by the weird disease. Maybe the Coker person will make yet another appearance despite how it looks like.

Travel day reading: Fanny's first ball and her distress of being courted by the mr heartbreaker. Everyone else is baffled by her ardent refusals.

Theatrics got quickly and permanently cancelled by a not-amused patriarch.

A theatre play at home prepwork is in progress. People have weird - and stupid - issues.

Airplane reading.
So one of the ladies, ms. Crawford, is not too interested in organized religion, and is painted in a bad light for that. Oh how boring that is. Again.

The main character moved on from the religious freaks' doomed camp and found a bunch of people with flamethrowers and such. Still no sign of the love interest.

After some setbacks and getting kidnapped the main character is out of rotting London. Only to find out that the expected safe haven is taken by crazy cultists.

They've pretty much survived the first day and are, in their own ways, saying goodbye to the old world. The blinded people aren't doing too well at this point but I imagine some weird crap is going to take place soon enough.

Both the Dashwoods have now had their marriage plans smashed into pieces while overactive aunts (or somesuch) keep fussing around and expecting every other guy (now mr. Brandon) to take the next place in queue.
Weird stuff.
