Awkwardly working in... the [book] title.

"'O brave new world,' he repeated. 'O brave new world that has such people in it. Let's start at once.'" - p. 139


Chapter eight contains a flashback! It's not very well-marked. I was initially convinced that Bernard was getting seriously cozy with Linda =|. But it's okay if it's little-kid John, I guess. Poor kid. The function of all that is that Bernard learns, along with the rest of us, "All [John's] life." That apparently drives Bernard to invite him and Linda to come on a trip back to "civilization" with him.

Predictions:
- Bernard will get in trouble for this. But, you know... Iceland.
- Linda will not want to go back.
- John won't like it as much as he thinks he will.
- John will do something dramatic that will terrify commitment-phobic Lenina.

I'll leave it at that because one hundred is easily divisible by four, so I can give myself a grade later, and everyone will be very excited.
