And then supper came, and Mommy cooked meatloaf with a side of my favorite treat: boiled Hamlet.
Wow Bill, wow.

Fuck this stupid book. "If I don't finish my book, then I will look smart!" What a fucking pseud.

Friendly reminder this is actually how this book ends.

it's basically an outline for GR

Imagine going through life this insecure and myopic

It was finished...

He needs to know everyone totally solved the mystery and lived happily ever after

>Holden settled back, to await The Catcher and the Rye

There is a Hand to turn the time,
Though thy Glass today be run,
Till the Light hath brought the Towers low
Find the last poor Preterite one . . .
Till the Riders sleep by ev'ry road,
All through our crippl'd Zone,
With a face in ev'ry Mountainside
And a Soul in ev'ry stone

Now Everybody -

WTF PYNCHON, FINISH THE GODDAMN BOOK

>Till the Light hath brought the Towers low
what does this even mean?

Major spoiler for GR under this
it’s probaby referring to the light coming off of an inbound rocket. This poem is the ending lines of GR and a rocket is being shot at a theatre while a person in the theatre recites this poem. (It’s a hymn so it’s meant to be sung) So, it’s probably saying that the light (V-2 rocket) is going to bring the tower (theatre) low (blow it up).

began re-reading right there

Kek

Yes, Vineland.

>My god, all along I really was an The Idiot!
