Totally. Further, how that one thing altered that other thing and caused that thing mentioned several chapters before to become a different thing. My mind was blown.

Lol. He is just saying that not everything can be categorized into absolutes. Who knows what insignificant things on a second to second basis define us?

The Odyssey.

>> No.3518589

"Harry Potter and the chamber of secrets" was the first "real" book I read in english (and ever, really, unless we count my children's encyclopedia- that fucker taught me about baby-making when I was 5) so I guess that's the first milestone.

Then comes "The Giver" shortly after, that's the first time I realized that "Oh crap, this reading stuff can get serious"

Fountainhead.
