Perhaps the author meant it. And that's entirely ok. Books are meant to be lived, and the more tips for life you can pick up out of a novel, the better. Things are never seen the same way by any two people. Literature allows for this flexiblity.
Books are nice like that.
Gee thanks, AJ, love you too. I will be revamping some of my book reviews in the near future. I'm working on the summaries for Catch-22. So maybe then my reviews will be sort of enjoyable. And maybe I'll get people to read them.
