Reading Diary – Like
Wow.
I am totally dorking out. I have my highlighting tabs, highlighters and am all set to go. An idea I had. Since my brother told me to pay attention to the chapter titles in terms of chronology, I am flagging each type of chapter with a certain color. I think this will help me keep track later down the road.
I’m interested by Wallace’s use of the word “like”. I haven’t decided if it’s a stylistic choice, character voice, or just part of Wallace’s own speech. However, every word is so delibrate, I can’t imagine he would just use “like” in everything. So far it seems confined to the character Hal, so I was thinking maybe it was a Hal thing? Just something interesting.
Good Quote: Pg 26 – “He didn’t reject the idea so much as not react to it and watch as it floated away”.
