The Catcher in the Rye | J. D. Salinger

I loved this book when I read it in high school, but I can still admit that Holden Caulfield (with his academic apathy and superficial cynicism) has some #AmericanIdiot tendencies. #Characters2017

DarcysMom I second @Birdsong28 's recommendation. I loved 7y

sprainedbrain Awww. My first book boyfriend. Interestingly enough, I have continued to fall for idiots as an adult! 😂 7y
FictionFox I love this art! 7y
hes7 @FictionFox Me too! It was the first image that showed up on a Google search of "Holden Caulfield." 7y

I completely forgot the #AmericanIdiot yesterday @LibrarianRyan

I thought about this for some time and rather than making the obvious choice (the Donald), I remembered that I am most annoyed by women who behave idiotically/not age appropriate. So, "call me Ana and spank me" has to stand in as an example for those women I want to knock some sense in.

Keeping with my theme of current reads. I'm also trying to avoid the whole trump card. Hehe. Clarissa Frey she is a right #americanidiot I spent a lot of time mentally shaking her. Alas as it is written so shall it be so. #muchlove #sundayfunday #characters2017

Thanks Cosmo for the list of 57 things Anastasia's Inner Goddess does in Fifty Shades of Gray... hard to pick just one of these characters as the #AmericanIdiot but I think Anastasia takes the cake, or I guess her inner goddess might've done if for her. 🙄🙄🙄#characters2017

BookBoggart I almost went with Bella from twilight. Based in this being fanfiction it makes total sense 7y
BookBoggart 😂 7y
night_shift Haha.. I absolutely agree 😂 7y

LibrarianRyan 🤓👍. I agree. 7y
Smangela @BookBoggart yes!!! 😂😂 7y
Smangela @UnidragonFrag @LibrarianRyan I don't think another book annoys me quite as much as this one haha 7y
night_shift Like, for funnies, we rented the movie. It was such an incredibly awkward movie. The two actors had no chemistry at all, but I guess that's accurate to the book. At least the soundtrack was pretty good. 7y
Smangela @UnidragonFrag oh I do like the soundtrack! After I loved Jamie Dornan in Once Upon A Time I can't bring myself to watch him in this 🙈🙈🙈 7y
night_shift He was in OUaT?? I've only just started season three on netflix. 7y
Smangela @UnidragonFrag season 1 - the huntsman I think! Let me double check haha 7y
Smangela @UnidragonFrag yep! The Huntsman! And I just spied he's playing Will Scarlet in the new Robin Hood so I can also get on board with that 7y

#characters2017 Day 4 I think the teenagers in this book are American idiots, especially the more violent ones. #americanidiot (Pic is from my original review.)

#Characters2017 #americanidiot Not a perfect match for the prompt but I have been (slowly) reading & listening (#audiocooking, #audiodriving) to Kindred (my first time) & up through Chapter 27 (where I'm at today) I've thought often that Rufus Weylin is at best an idiot-though I'm thinking it's about to change to a worse word very soon. Gosh, this book is so good but tough to read!😱I want to check out the graphic novel-where the pics are from📚👍

Cupofjo Kindred is in my top 5 fav books... And THE book that got me loving reading as a teen! 7y
LibrarianRyan 🤓👍 7y
Reggie This book, even though fantasy, made me feel my history classes in high school had let me down. Also, maybe I just wasn't ready for this book at the time. But I'm glad I read it. 7y
DebinHawaii @Cupofjo I can't believe it took me so long to read it! 👍📚@Reggie Yes, I often feel my high school history classes let me down too. It is hard to read at times so I go slowly with other things in between but I'm glad I'm reading it too, finally. 📚👍 7y

Love you Littens, but I'll never be so glad to see a hashtag end! Way too much of the #marmalade one in my feed today. ? But as Scarlett says: "Tomorrow is another day!" Bring it! #americanidiot #characters2017

TobeyTheScavengerMonk Yeah, it was like he was encroaching on my safe space. 7y
LibrarianRyan 🤓👍. When I added the characteristic, I didn't think so many people would pick Trump. Sorry. 7y
LaraReads @librarianryan Oh, no! It's not your fault. He truly is the American Idiot! Looking forward to seeing all the other prompts! Although, sadly I think he'd qualify for a few others as well! 6,8,15,16,17,18,24,26,28 all bring him to mind also! Lol. Can you tell I despise him?! 😬 7y
LibrarianRyan @LaraReads you and me both. This month Mad Magizine has an all trip book out and it's hilarious. I need to finish it actually. The scary part is most of it seems true. 7y

With the obvious choice for this and the almost daily dose of negative news coming from D.C., I decided to go with a much more LOVABLE #AmericanIdiot
Dick Casablancas from both the Veronica Mars books and TV series fits the bill. Ryan Hansen portrayed him wonderfully.
#Characters2017

LaraReads Ahhh...love Veronica Mars! 7y
monkeygirlsmama He really did! This is one of my all time favorite shows. Dick definitely fits the #americanidiot bill. 😀I'm planning a VM series/movie rewatch for this summer when I finish my TWD rewatch. 7y
LibrarianRyan 🤓👍💕 love this!! 7y
