Which line from extremely loud and incredibly close reveals a nostalgic tone? even after a year, i still had an extremely difficult time doing certain things, like taking showers, for some reason, and getting into elevators, obviously. a lot of the time i’d get that feeling like i was in the middle of a huge black ocean, or in deep space, but not in the fascinating way. it’s just that everything was incredibly far away from me. it was worst at night. i started inventing things, and then i couldn’t stop, like beavers, which i know about. we used to greco-roman wrestle on the floor in there, and tell hilarious jokes, and once we hung a pendulum from the ceiling and put a circle of dominoes on the floor to prove that the earth rotated.
