Good book.

Haters are unironically phonies.

Someone post Reuben's review already

>>10409831

Do you really think Holden had sex with Phoebe? Genuinely interested to know whether there is anything to this theory, I never saw it myself

It's not a meme. Salinger alluded to it in an interview.

goddam phonies, kid

Overrated
It’s an okay book, but it isn’t really worth teaching it to children
I’d recommend it to children, but there’s no point in studying it

you seem to have strongly mixed feelings
bit of this, bit of that

>>10416405
Children like reading books where the protagonist gets beat up by a pimp

>>10409831
favourite book of all time

These are the types of books that are great for the teenaged girl. If you're a male and especially being forced to read it (like most highschooler) book is basically trash.

It's a good read, but it's absolutely criminal that this what everyone knows Salinger for. Franny and Zooey is his best and motherfuckers don't know it

Excellent for young men, around 13-18 years old. Probably not at all stimulating for an adult's mind and that's perfectly alright as it was almost certainly intended as a coming-of-age novel.

this book isn't for women, and women can't relate with nor empathize with Holden as his experiences are distinctly masculine.
>basically trash
no, you are
