Ch 14 pg 353
Jake (george) goes to a pawn shop and buys some bugs. The kind you can put in a lamp with a connected recorder. The best the early 60s had. He then goes to the house he knows lee harvey Oswald is gonna rent in August next year and pays the lady living there to call him when they're moving. Hes gonna put the lamp bugs in the house before lee moves in.
Jake agrees to shaparone a dance with the new librarin. They get a luttle hot and heavy after. Then she runs out. She calls him after and tells him to come over tomorrow at 5 with condoms.
Ch 15 pg 377
They do it.
Jake gets the bug lamps from the pawn shop and theyre great.
new librarian says she loves Jake and he says it back.
she's having a hard time trusting him with all these trios to dallas he can't talk about.
Ch 16 pg 400
Jake has got lee.harvwy oswalds future house all bugged up. He's also got his sights set on renting the house across street.
I don't care about his relationship to the librarians or the school play 0r how the librarians gonna get a job in reno during the summer so after two months she can get a divorce without interacting with her astranged husband. Or how she's sick of narrator's shit and is primed to dump him. So I'm not gonna talk about that.
Ch 17 pg 431
Jake goes to the airport to see lee harvey Oswald come home. He does. Fun thing, he also sees librarian leaving for reno. He goes back to little town for dinner. You know the librarian plot line I don't care about? Well, they won't shut up about it, so the one thing I'll report about it here is that at the dinner, someone brings librarians high-school yearbook specifically so they can get a picture of her astranged husband and Jake is worried he's gonna come to town and cause trouble.
Cool thing that also happens back in small town is there's a reporter covering the football team and he has a fancy new listening device. He goes back to the pawn shop and the guy there just heard about this. So Jake is probably going to get one.
Ch 18 pg 459
Jake listens to Lee and family with the fancy new listening device. This works pretty well as he can listen to people when they come to the door. Like when a boy comes selling magazines and lee gives him the communist manifesto.
What doesn't work as well is the bug in the house that's hooked up to a tape recorder. Mostly cause when they're home, the Oswalds speak Russian.
Ch 19 pg 490
Jake moves into the apartment one floor below where the oswalds are going to move. The Cuban missle crisis is starting. Jake is worried about Sadie and calls her. She doesn't answer so he drives to her house and finds her passed out. He tells her how the Cuban misses crisis goes and she's cool with it.
Ch 20 pg 523
I had forgotten that there was some military guy that al thought Lee harvey Oswald tried to assassinate before Kennedy. In this chapter we learn that Oswald did have an axe to grind against this guy as he tried to organize a protest against said military guys tv appearance. Jake didn't care enough to see if anyone showed up. But he did watch the TV thing and while he didn't think he deserved to die, he could do with some shaking.
At the end it is revealed that lee harvey Oswald's wife is pregnant again.
Ch 21 pg 539
Jake tells librarian his name is Jake. Jake loses the bug in Lee Harney oswalds apartment. He's kinda flying blind heading toward Lee possibly trying to assassinate the military guy. But he knows when and where so at least he can be there to see it. He thinks it might go so badly that he has to go back to the future.
Ch 22 pg 559
Jake is preparing to go witness lee harvey Oswald try to kill the white supremacist former military guy and the fate stops him. Sadie's ex husband shows up at Sadie's house and makes her call Jake and Jake drives three hours to save her. He calls Deke (the former principal) to help and he saves Sadie with a casserole dish of chop seui. Jake doesn't wanna shoot Sadie's ex cause it'll bring too much scrutiny. So he doesn't and the punchline is that he kills himself with a knife. Here's hoping suicide brings less scrutiny.
