Wow!! This audiobook hooked me in from the very start!! I couldn‘t stop listening to it! This is a fascinating and darkly horrible domestic thriller. It has more than one #ObnoxiousCharacter - and also includes someone #InHiding! While you may not want to know anyone like this, and the plot takes a few predictable turns, this highly engaging book is addictive! Great performance too and I did more than #AudioColor! #AuldLangReads #NewYearNewYou

Tropic of Cancer | Henry Miller

I was googling #ObnoxiousCharacter and found a website that suggested “any character by Henry Miller”😂 I‘ve only read the autobiographical Tropic of Cancer and Tropic of Capricorn, and to be fair, Miller himself came across as a bit obnoxious.

Mini Shopaholic: A Novel | Sophie Kinsella

I enjoyed the first few books in this series and most of the author‘s standalone work. Then I read this installment after a several year break and found Becky to be an #ObnoxiousCharacter

I‘m still going to finish the series some day! #AuldLangReads

The Catcher in the Rye | J.D. Salinger

I think there are two camps when it comes to Catcher; those who love it, and those who think Holden is an irredeemably #obnoxiouscharacter

I'm firmly in camp two. Where do you sit?

#AuldLangReads @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @OriginalCyn620

MissAimz_55 Camp two. Fiancé is in camp one 5y

AmyG Two. I didn‘t like or “get” this book at all. 5y

sprainedbrain Camp 1. Holden was my first book boyfriend, and I have been making poor choices in men ever since. 😂 5y

Reagan 2 Holden is insufferable and I didn‘t even finish the book. 5y

MicrobeMom I haven‘t read since I was 16. At 16 I was definitely Camp 1. Though, now that I am adult and way beyond 16, I imagine I would be in Camp2. 5y

zezeki Camp 2. I really really didn't like him. 5y

OriginalCyn620 I need to reread this...I read it in high school but don‘t remember it much! 5y

TheKidUpstairs @MicrobeMom I think you're right, that the age at which you first read Catcher has a big effect on which camp you are in! 5y

TheKidUpstairs @MissAimz_55 @AmyG @sprainedbrain @Reagan @zezeki testing a theory; how old were you when you first read Catcher? 5y

sprainedbrain I was 17 the first time. 5y

Reagan @sprainedbrain probably early 20s. I don‘t recall trying as a teenager although I might have. I haven‘t tried since either, I‘ve considered it but I think he would irritate me even more now close to 40! 5y

vivastory I reread Catcher a couple of years ago at 39 & loved it more than when I first read it at 18. I felt a new appreciation for Holden's youthful idealism. 5y

xicanti Camp One. Holden‘s insufferability is largely fuelled by loneliness and grief. He‘s fascinating even when he isn‘t admirable. 5y

vivastory @xicanti I agree. Plus, I have yet to meet an adolescent who isn't insufferable to some degree. I know I was. 😂 5y

Scochrane26 Camp 2. I read this as a adult, but I think I wouldn‘t have liked it even as a teen. 5y

zezeki @TheKidUpstairs I think I was 16. 5y

MissAimz_55 Recently so I think 30 5y

AmyG I was in my early 20‘s. 5y

Kimberlone I think there‘s a third category where you still like the book but are able to recognize Holden‘s insufferability. I work with teens and often have conflicting feelings of empathy and extreme annoyance with them. 5y

One of the most obnoxious characters is Draco Malloy! “Harry has never believed he would meet a boy he hated more than Dudley but that was before he met Draco Malloy” #auldlangreads #obnoxiouscharacter #potteraday
