Never understood his appeal, but I guess there's something for everyone, and he's not for me.

I think I'm done now.
Interesting. Is the title a reference to an episodic memory linked to 10:04?

As Simon (& necessarily Garfunkel) once said: "Time, time, time... see what's become of me."
Clocks get a couple of shout-outs in the book. For one, the protagonist goes to see the 24-hour-long film called The Clock by Christian Marclay. It's a montage of films showing moments where time and clocks play a role. The protagonist doesn't make it through the whole film.
More specifically, 10:04 is the moment when the clock tower is hit by lightning in the movie Back to the Future, one of the protag's favorites. Lerner is more attuned to movies than I.
