I heard Michael Chabon read a chapter from his bestseller The Amazing adventures of Cavalier and Clay a few months back and partway through the reading his cell phone rang. It was his wife asking him how his trip to Boston was going and what was he up to right now. He told her he was in the middle of the reading, that he loved her, and then hung up and turn his phone off. Later in the lecture an audience member's cell phone rang and Michael asked if it was his wife again. It was pretty funny, but you kind had to be there.
You can listen to this reading here. click on the "Streaming Audio" link at the bottom of the page and then find the Michael Chabon streams. I don't think I can link to the actual streams themselves.
