1. This book is like my sleeping kryptonite. I don't know what it is about this book , but it can put me to sleep in about ten minutes flat, doesn't matter what mood I'm in. It's not that I'm uninterested, I think that this book just has some kind of magical power to it that I am not yet capable of understanding. I developed a method of arm waving that allowed me to read while staying awake at around the third chapter of the book that worked to get me through most of the readings that followed.
2. Vomit is a funny word and can easily be overused. Also Ferries is one weird dude.
3. Maybe there was a conspiracy and maybe there was a man behind the murder that was a much more interesting than I could have ever guessed a real man that may not have been insane, but rather completely knowing of what he was doing, just swept up in some false image of himself enforced by those around him.
4. I finally understand the reason for people being so into the JFK assassinations, it never really held that big of an interest in my mind, and I always thought that people obsessed with this story were just bat shit insane. While maybe they still are, this story has worked to show me the real significance behind such a conspiracy and the reasons why someone would obsess over it. I think it was a very useful book to read in this regard and it worked well in the course as it introduced a new way of looking at history. Fiction can be a great way to open someones mind up to new possibilities and to look at a situation with somewhat of a fresh start that can't otherwise be obtained.
