Ch. 3
I don't know....this book is very...interesting...the parts where he was serving as a prisoner of war just sounded awful...ugh, the frozen feet and the horrible conditions in the stationary train just sounded miserable (i know you're thinking like duh charlotte, he's a prisoner of war, but still...you get what I'm saying...). Also, it is kinda funny to me that he's an optomotrist...it's one of those jobs that isn't very popular and common, but then if you think about it, it's not that random either...Oh, the part where he flashes to 1967 in his cadillac and then it continues to the part of how he was super rich, was sort of unexpected. There are just so many diverse parts of this man's life that it could be represented by at least 5 differen't men's lives....this man went through a lot of different situations. I guess it's kinda cool that he got to live so many lives in his one life, but the fact that he keeps changing from one to another would be so overwhelming...now i have sympathy for him....it would suck being under that kind of stress or "stage fright" 24/7. Anyways, thats what ch. 3 made me think about...actually that's pretty much what this whole book (minus ch. 1) has made me think about so far...i like this book.

I totally agree. This book sorta just makes you think; it leads you in directions that you really didn't expect. But there's just so much in this book, so much that could each be like it's own book. It's a vortex.
I find Billy's job as an optometrist interesting as well. Not random, but very respectable. In fact, he's quite rich and has other optometrists working under him. Adds to the obscurity, yet respectability of Billy's life.
