holden on to what u've got.
Just finished reading Catcher in the rye...I know its a little late for me to read it...but better late than never...plus Ive decided on catching up on my reading habits of late..have decide to get rid of all my IT literature and get back to my former literary velleity, novels.
The Catcher in the Rye is a story narrated by seventeen-year-old Holden Caulfield, a schoolboy in rebellion against the dubious values of the adult world. In 1949, while "recovering" in a California sanitorium, 17-year-old Holden relates events that occurred during three December days in 1948--when he was sixteen. Within this part of the story, Holden frequently flashes back to experiences and people from earlier in his life. A picaresque novel that illustrates the moral development and attitudes of its nonconformist protagonist.
Holden reminded me of my teens...the non conformism, the confusion and hatred toward all the things in life that seemed phony. Adolescence has its ways with the mind. Must say that the book has stood the sands of time...
Like J.D said "I hate everybody who comes in looking as if he might have played football in college".
