I couldn’t finish it. I kept wondering where the “there” was in the story.

It wasn’t until years later that someone said the catcher in the rye was a person who wanted to save kids from falling down the cliff of luzing their innocence, save them from it. I still think the whole thing was overrated.

Huckleberry Finn, there was a real interesting story.

And Xenophontas’ Anabasis The March Up Country, that was interesting reading. History is always better than fiction.

I've always thought of The Catcher in the Rye as a portrait of a long-winded self-important loser. I guess that was the point of it?
