Have you read books other than comic books and the latest movie novelisation? Catcher In The Rye captures a period in life, a time and a person so utterly perfectly. However, there aren't any dragon's lances in it, so maybe it's time for Salinger to do a re-draft.

One, I've never touched a comic book or movie novelisation. Two, I don't only read Dragonlance. Three, the way he wrote it was just not to my taste. Too much redudency which drove me nuts. But then again I was never a fan of first person point of view but I think it just goes beyond that for me.

One, two and three? Wow, you can count like the wind can whistle!

Yeah, I can understand that if you don't like first-person narratives then you're going to find Catcher in the Rye a little contrary. However, the nature of this style means that there isn't really any redundancy as it's all part of what makes the whole(den) Caulfield.

Yeah, I like what I did there, too.

Ooo-goo-gee-choo, the style is a reflection of reality; we all have idiosyncratic language.

All right, I just don't like it.

I realise that, I'm just correcting you so that you become a better person.

i read catcher in the rye just after my angsty phase, so a lot of it struck me as...well...silly, i guess. i feel like holden caulfield's problems can be summed up like so: they're such phonies, it KILLS me.

Are you saying that you can only like a book if your feelings are synonymously empathetic with the main character's?

are you saying you're abnormally defensive about a novel generally accepted to be directed at a specific age group?

no. but the idiot immaturity of holden caulfield goes beyond the pale. i can't even sympathize with him.

I liked Nine Stories.

hey man...me too. meeeeee too.
