The Catcher in the Rye

I read this at 17 and now at 29. They feel and are two different books completely, depending on which stage of your life you read it. It comes to prove that timing is essential in literature. Sometimes you connect with a book so much, yet you come to hate it a few years later. Literature is beautiful like that.

I felt mostly depressed and annoyed with Holden self-loathing view on life. He's cynical and sarcastic and I want to slap him in the face. But he also made me laugh a lot. I swear to god I laughed for over 5 minutes straight once, and I laughed a lot too in other occasions. He's mighty funny sometimes I give him that. And his way of speaking and thinking is contagious also, you know what I mean? Ya feel me? Boy, I swear to god it is.
