I saw a store called "The Bookworm" and decided to check it out. I encountered a LOVELY elderly European woman with an affinity for Star Wars and Middle Earth. Best customer service ever, and the store was selling reasonably priced GOOD QUALITY used books. Seriously, if you ever need a book try checking there. I wish I had more time to get over there, I love local shops with personality. Just thought I'd put that out there for anyone who reads these comments.bcastillorhsenglitcomphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16148224009793615661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5248376335672805297.post-53249857250139733872012-11-26T18:35:10.309-08:002012-11-26T18:35:10.309-08:00Well we never found the card if it ever existed.

I wish everyone had posted their thoughts because I find it so interesting how we all came to radically different conclusions. Perhaps I should hide a card in the classroom tomorrow just to fool everyone.CWesthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06935513376821162104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5248376335672805297.post-52440915342007953642012-11-26T18:30:41.164-08:002012-11-26T18:30:41.164-08:00LOL.

Rather, reality as opposed to the singular and inconsistent perception of an individual that is incapable of being truthful when put in context of another. "Jokers" trick and fool us. I made the connection when the man began to tell Aomame, towards the end, that appearances "fool us"; and "jokers" and tricksters love fooling people through illusions and "sleight of hand" tricks.<br /><br />Maybe I over-analyzed this, or maybe I missed the point of the excerpt entirely.
