>>	Anonymous Tue Sep 27 01:59:55 2022 No.21048123 you liked it. although 75% of the book was describing the desert, you thought the last 1/4 of the book was pretty good.

>>	Anonymous Tue Sep 27 02:11:33 2022 No.21048170 I remember being so confused at the end of my first reading because they used my name to refer to an outhouse.

>>	Anonymous Tue Sep 27 02:11:52 2022 No.21048174 >>21047389 Feels like a painting in written form.

>>	Anonymous Tue Sep 27 02:13:22 2022 No.21048182 >>21048170 Yeah it was only after I went online to discuss the book that I realized it was an outhouse. I thought it meant behind the bar or something. The meaning was largely maintained though

you thought the priest was right when he told the kid to shoot the judge

you also became convinced (though only subconsciously because to admit it consciously even to yourself would seem cringe) that War is indeed God

you also think that Holden is the embodiment of faustian civilization that found its apogee in the american vision of Manifest Destiny AND that he is the literal devil
