Some books are very hard to remember. Catcher in the Rye... all I remember is that Holden thinks everything/everyone is phony. World According to Garp... I remember Garp wrestles? Oscar and Lucinda, there’s a nerd who collects rocks and builds a glass church.

I think when I read literary fiction I read entirely for atmosphere, a sense of character, and the feel of words and sentences. The plot barely registers except in older novels like Dickens. I’m not a deep/close reader of such books. Plots are for my genre fiction reading.

I used to like the novels of Daphne du Maurier but they are so atmospheric I can’t even keep the individual books apart.

I read Bonfire of the Vanities because, well, everyone did and it was all the rage. I cannot tell you one single thing about the book.
