I love Tom's story (359-365) about his fetish for black stockings. I thought the whole thing was hilarious especially the ending when he realizes that she has one too, even if she may not realize what her own fetish is. I started to think about why this story was particularly important to the novel, as in why did the author include this story? It sort of reminded me of Infinite Jest, in that everyone has their own addiction, whether it's tennis, or drugs, or alcoholics anonymous. Later in this section Enoch Root talks to Shaftoe about his connection with morphine. See the first paragraph on page 374. The whole thing is great. Here's a little bit:

"But I prefer both of them [seeky, seeking] to 'addict' because they are adjectives modifying Bobby Shaftoe instead of a noun that obliterates Bobby Shaftoe" -Root

This especially reminded me of Infinite Jest.
