I'd just be the catcher in the rye and all. I know it's crazy, but that's the only thing I'd like to be.
god i havent read this since freshman year but i liked it so much more this time. holden caulfield voice of a generation etc etc this book is about being a mentally ill teenager and also the mortifying ordeal of being known

Herlezen. Eerste keer begreep ik er niet veel van. Ik las het toen met veel verwachtingen, maar zelf niet meer in die leeftijdscategorie behorende vond ik Holden een vermoeiend type. Nu het boek nogmaals een kans gevend lees ik er zoveel meer in. Nu zie ik in Holden iemand die gefrustreerd door het leven gaat door omstandigheden, eenzaamheid en onbegrip. Maar vooral iemand die zich af en toe kwetsbaar opstelt en dan een lief en aanhankelijk stuk van zichzelf laat zien.

I didn't really understand why this is a classic until the last few chapters. It's a lot of build up, but I think it's worth it. It's a quick read and just genuine. It does get hard to read the same phrases all the time, but it's to make a point. Everything comes together in the end beautifully, and I'm glad to have finally read it. I'm not sure how I went through my schooling without ever having to read it. I'm not sure if I would have liked it when I was younger, so I'm glad I read it now.
