THE CATCHER IN THE RYE

J. D. SALINGER
famous literature. apparently we'll read it down the line (like college, no probably high school) and have to analyze it.
i'm wayy ahead of everyone else.
this was mentioned in Perks (charlie was told to read it) and in the reviews for another book that i will be reading soon. so i was like, hey, i might as well...
this was really good.
it's about Holden (crazy name, right?) but a good crazy name... i like it. i'll name my kid that and people will be like huh? and i'll say, duh, the catcher in the rye!
oh! i was watching full house the other day and the punk (i now know his name is steve, dj's bf) and jesse both had to write a book report so they decided to split it up. lazy! i told you he was a punk!
but anyway, holden runs away from school, well, he's expelled, but he leaves a little early. and so he can't go home for a few days. so he hides out in new york, renting hotel rooms and such. he drinks and smokes a lot. and swears a lot, manno. but it's not bad.
so yeah, i liked this book. the ending was kind of confusing, but not really, i know what happened, but they don't tell you. it's good.
i advise reading it now, so then when ((if)) you have to in later years, it'll be the second time and your comprehension will be greater.
i sound smart...
oh and i kind of love why it's called the catcher in the rye. that's what holden wants to be, a catcher in the rye, to run and catch people who are running through the rye fields and are about to fall off a cliff.
loves it!
