Mr.Fenn said that there are aberrations on the edges in TTOTC. As I read through the book I notice that the pictures have those old fashion photo album corners, most that is. On pages 72 and 93 there are pics without and corners ?? An oversight I think not. Anyone have thoughts on what he may be hinting towards ?

GG Have you noticed the position of the pictures on the cover? Turn it upside down

There's some other pictures without corners too. Mainly where they overlap another picture, the overlapping corner is missing. I haven't started looking at this yet because I've been busy with other things in the book. A person has to work at this stuff, ya know.

Seems like everything I look at anymore brings be back to Boarders. The IMPORTANT LITERATURE isn't called important for no reason. I posted a week or so ago about the little girls braids but no one replied. How would this girl know what Forrest was looking for if he didn't tell Her? She wouldn't. There was no trip to Boarders (not the national chain anyway).Are not the edges of pictures Boarders? Where were the men? If I'm a middle aged man and it raining for two days there's only two things to be doing,one is sitting in the bar but if you don't drink you whould...
PM me and we can chat about her braids,if I'm right this could be the beginning of a nice trip.

All, One thing I don't believe I have seen anyone mention is about why he makes obviously mistakes about Hemingway's book in the Important Literature chapter. The thing is if he obviously thought it was trash, as he threw it in such, and never even completed it, then who cares if he made mistakes in regards to it, it wasn't "Important Literature" to him, at least not important enough to get it right. It is just "Fennish" IMO. Seannm But it must be important in some way or he wouldn't have mentioned it, right?

IMO it seems like his mention of Hemingway isn't what is important in this chapter, and maybe it is the educational systems placement of importance on this type of literature on our young expanding minds that is what Forrest is pointing out. I mean who else is saying that Hemingway's writings are of importance to our youth, than those who see it as important, other authors, again the "False Consensus Effect". There is more here, but .... give a man a fish. dalneitzel.com/video/sfi/study_vs_experience.htmlImagination is more important than knowlege. Seannm Exactly.

The original Seannm post seems to have been deleted but I take it he is referring to the fact that FF states that he read about a third of For Whom the Bell Tolls but then gives the plot of A Farewell to Arms. Another aberration seems to be that the check-out guy supposedly said "Catcher in the Rye." That Idiot! Wouldn't he have said That Phony! instead? Is this an indication to look for phony clues? BTW, I took a look at the chapters around the 1/3 point of both Hemingway books and didn't find anything that seemed to be useful.

I think the "third" comment is meaningful in the fact that there's three books he bought. I think each book offers a hint, a third of a part each. I've found a meaning of two of the books, "For Whom The Bell Tolls" and "The Great Gatsby". But "Catcher In The Rye" is more difficult for me. I see lots of very light hints, and I only get a meaning by combining them. I think I'm missing something though. It's not what's in the books themselves. It's what's around those books. Forrest told about the wrong book for a reason, that's another hint.

Hi Xeones: if you re-read that page paying close attention to quotation marks, it wasn't the checkout guy that said "That idiot!", it was Forrest *referring* to the checkout guy.

I'll bet that checkout guy was keeping a discrete distance. Like "ten foot pole" distance. He probably had his new car running, just in case he misread Forrest' intentions, so he could beat a fast retreat. He was probably thinking "dang, I thought he wanted that book! Then he just looked away like he didn't. Maybe I better figure out the rules better, so I can collect my paycheck." Forrest should have blocked his car in so he couldn't get home. lol
