This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I finally read the book and Forrest is not mentally deficient at all in the book.

In the book, he's a very aware, intelligent person who's good at focusing on and solving problems but has a speech impediment.

Maybe the movie tried to do that, but I don't think they tried to do that.

He also goes to space with a chimpanzee.

The book is pretty crazy.
