Has anyone read that book before? It's like a person talking about his diary. I'm on chapter five. any opinions IF people read it.

Holden FTW!!!
Best book ever. I bought a new copy a few years ago because the salesman made it sound so taboo and because it didn't have a synopsis. (I hate book back synopses.) Now my copy is so worn and torn! Everyone should read this book.

for REAL.

Holden Caulfield is my God...

I've read this book 9 times in the last two years... some people have a comfort food, I have The Catcher In The Rye

I thought

1.) That guy doesn't make sense. Especially when he tries to describe what he doesn't like about the person.

2.) The whole "get a bang out of it" is ridiculous

3.) Holden Caulfied is annoying

4.) This book is another reason why emo kids hate society

1) He's not supposed to make sense, he's in turmoil. Hence why he's writing from a mental home.

2) That's called colloquialism

3) Holden is a) Godlike but b) yes, mildily irritating, but you're supposed to be frustrated... it's part of the charm

4) Not even worth it.

Hope you're not being sarcastic, haha.

I really do love J.D. Salinger, especially Catcher. Have you read Catch-22? Yossarian reminds me of Holden. My favourite part of Catcher is at the end when Holden see's "Fuck you" carved at his sister's school.

..edit..

Great rebuttal, I Shot JFK. if being emo means I like great literature then... you're a jackass.
