    Too bad, Rat; you don’t stand a chance of winning the Summarize Proust Competition now.

    Steve Carell weeps, or at least one of his film characters.

    But Rat, you’d be stuck in a dark vault and now you’d be completely unable to unremember the Proust book in your head.

    Raise High the Roof Beam, Carpenters so you’ll have room for the Nine Stories that Franny and Zooey want to read.

    Look at the bright side, at least “You Light Up My Life” wasn’t playing in the background on an endless loop.

    I couldn’t agree more except I would have to put Kant in that dark vault as well.

    “Now I have to go to Wikipedia and look up Proust to understand today’s Pearls.”Or you could read the first few pages of Remembrance of Things Past to really understand it!

    “Uh, now explain the bad part? ;-D”It’d be bad for Rat, not everyone else.

    I felt the same as Rat when I was reading “Catcher in the Rye”… Worst book I ever read.

    Actually, being put in an eternal concrete vault is worse. Brrr!
