The saga continues!

This chapter really grabbed my attention!! When he talked about Faber it made me think of Clarisse. I began to wonder how many people in this society really felt good about books and wanted to be able to read them. The meeting of Guy and Faber was very mysterious in the park. It seemed so long ago, did Guy in his subconscious know then he really wanted to know about books? He met Faber before he knew Clarisse so why didn't he turn Faber in.

Faber is a really secretive, handy man. With no "TV" he works on his little experiments. After the talk between Faber and Guy he introduces the earpiece shell so they can comunnicate back and forth. I feel like this has given Guy to much confidence and has mad him "cocky" which led to him unplugging the "TV" and reading to the ladies. In doing this he exposed himself and his wife to having books. Mildred tried to cover for them it seemed to work. The woman that was crying, after Guy read the poem, is another character I feel that may understand and want books. The powerful words he read outloud hit her heart in ways that nothing else may have ever done.

After this Guy has gone to work. He played his part in handing the book over to Beatty. Then Beatty ramble on to Guy with Faber listening and using books to back up his opion. What intregued me was the different quotes he used from different books. Guy thought Beatty believed he only had one book. Beatty knew otherwise as you find out in the end of the chapter where they end up at a fire call in front of Guys house. The Beatty lets on that he dropped hints to Guy by sending the mechanical dog out. He was using this dog as a scare tactic. It did not work, or did it? Then I am wondering if Guy hid the books outside are there still books inside? Maybe Guy really knew this was eventually going to happen.

Did Mildred do it? Was she that embarassed by the way Guy was acting infront of her friends and "family" that she finaly had enough and wanted to put a stop to it! I think it might have been her. She herself might have been scared her neighbors were going to call in on them (as husband and wife having books and reading together) and if she called in she would not be punished. I do not care for Mildred and the way she does not care for her husband.

And now the biggest question of all is should I keep reading? I do not want to and ruin ideas and thoughts that may come up in discussion this week. So like most of you I will will be wondering and doing my best not to continue on in this journey! Happy Reading to ALL!
