Chris Francis - First Impressions

So the only copy of the book that Murray library has is a large print, hardback versions - 885 pages! Ouch.

Greatest quote thus far:
If the Etch A Sketch and the Spirograph had really worked they would probably be machines, not toys, they would be part of the way the adult universe operated, and be mounted onto the instrument panels of cars or worn on the belts of policemen. Dylan understood and accepted this. These things were broken because they were toys, and vice versa. They required his pity and patience, like retarded children who'd been entrusted to his care.

That makes me think of Ben. Any reference to retarded children makes me happy. Good book so far!
