"george knew he looks passable on the outside, but he was crumbling apart." why does he feel this way?

In a Summer´s Reading by Bernard Malamud,George's daydreams tell us about him  that  he shares the expectaions of the American Dream.

He wants to be well-off , to get a job that would allow him to buy a house with porch in a green suburban area. This money would gain him people´s respect.

George avoids Mr.Cattanzara by crossing the street when he approaches Mr Cattanzara´s house. He feels despair because he is unable to keep his promise to read 100 books.

"George knew he looks passable on the outside, but he was crumbling apart." He feel this way because he has managed to earn people´s respect by making them believe he can read such a large number of books; however, he knows his lie is short-lived and will soon be discovered.
