I don't like how Marvin is trying to define himself by reading his book, as if he is finding the "true him". There is no true you. You are not a shy-guy or whatever. You may have ACTED like one in the past, but that doesn't mean you ARE one. If you fail a math test....does that mean you are a failure? Or did you just fail the test? Psychologically speaking, the EGO needs to define everything, including ourselves, when in fact everyone in nothing. You aren't anything, you only act in certain ways, and you can act however you WANT to in the future, regardless of how you acted in the past.
And despite this fag-fest,

I'm kinda drunk but I think this makes sense if you read it a couple of times.
