Okay, so I've seen several Anons post how White Noise was a good book but how, strangely, they can't seem to remember too much of what actually took place in it. Well, I'll offer a suggestion. It's because the book deals with the concept of death as one of its main themes. Not just death, but the nuances surrounding how death is perceived in society. Don't you think that is something that we, as people, would prefer not to think about? Perhaps we're subconsciously veering away from a full recollection of the book because it forces us to face our own mortality in a way that is somewhat more far-reaching than in other books? #edgy.

Thanks, I guess. What was your experience reading it? What stood out the most?

I liked the conversations between Jack and Babette.

Heinrich was definitely my fave character. Shame he seemed to be loosing his hair, though. I highly suspect it was because of his exposure to some toxic chemicals. No one that young should be bald.

Yes, I remember those. They were weird in that they were so un-emotional. Babette gets called out for her affair, but Jack never raises his voice. It's like a debate. Facts and figures.
