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.
