Part Two: The Sieve and the Sand
Pages 71-80
After trying to read the entire afternoon and listening Mildred complain the entire time, Guy becomes frustrated and remembers an old man met about a year ago, who he suspected was holding a book in his coat but said nothing about it. The man was an english professor named Fable. He tries the call the professor but the man thought it was a trap and refused to speak of books with Guy.
After that Guy leave his home to the subway where he stayed for a while just holding the bible in his hands. He feels as if he is losing his mind and opens the book in the middle everyone and reads. The next stop he runs from the train, just running.
I'm not too sure of the importance of this section but I think has to do with the fact that he is finished listening to the firemen and his wife that books are bad. He intends on reading as much as he can.
