Ok...I‘m about halfway through and I‘m ultimately sick of Holden. I‘m really trying with him but he‘s such an insufferable little shit who seems to hate EVERYTHING and EVERYONE. And at first it was tolerable but now it‘s almost like he‘s looking for reasons not to like things. He‘s the pure definition of “misery loves company”....#classics #litsy

phantomx It took me three times at three different ages to read Catcher in the Rye. Holden seems psychologically unrealistic when it comes to navigating the real world. 4y
jouleian @phantomx I agree with you. I just finished it, and Phoebe talks to him the way I wanted to the whole book. I‘m sure a lot of people didn‘t really care for my review and it wasn‘t that I didn‘t understand the message. It was the delivery of the message I guess. I can‘t read this book again. I just can‘t. 4y
