> Something tells me Waldun will be projecting in this book, essentially proclaiming that people who simply memorize things to get high grades or good careers are somehow less intelligent than more "creative" people, except Waldun doesn't realize he does the former to make people think he's the latter.

This is certainly true, however, I believe that there's an additional component to this.
1. In past interviews, Waldun praises the """well-rounded intellectual"""" that are unlike the rote-memorization robotic non-creative intellectuals at his high school. However, he has a fixation on those well-rounded intellectual's girlfriends. When he says that they live life, he mainly means that they have romantic interests. I believe that what really drove Waldun to literature was a belief that if he became a dark academian, he would get a gf

2. I think he's using Jay as a surrogate girlfriend, or at least a surrogate apprentice. He tried to have a similar relationship with Cody but it didn't work out.

3. When Waldun talks about why he is studying English literature, and he doesn't talk about what exactly he likes about books. I've actually never heard him analyze a passage, he always just says something like, "that's so good" or "I really like the aesthetic." Instead, it seems like he believes that becoming a scholar of literature will transform who he is

reminder that Jay is an yellow fever Anglo Chad and is Buck Breaking Waldun RIGHT NOW just like Britain did to China in the colonization times. JAY IS COLONIZING THAT SWEET CHINK ASS RIGHT IN FRONT OF WALDUN
