I have a flat cap, it is not stupid.

I identified with him very much when I read it, but not so much now. I still identify with his confusion re: wanting to be an adult and wanting to stay young forever sometimes, but overall I've grown out of my "Holden Caulfield phase."

Thank god :/

I don't get you people, why write God if you're not going to use the capital letter? Do you believe but not believe at the same time? Make up your mind already.

>>789433

Reported.

>>789683
lol that was a typo. If I'm referring to a the Judeo-Christian God like that, I'll use the capitalized form, if only because it's his name.

I won't capitalize pronouns referring to him/it, though. Most translations of the Bible don't even do that.

Fuck you OP. Catcher in the Rye was shit.

Reported.

lol o u

Why does it fucking matter if someone on an anonymous imageboard doesn't capitalize god?

>>789721
Because they would be a member of the internet-atheist movement, who does silly things like try to remove any mention of the JC God from casual conversation, making casual conversation much less casual.

I am >>789661 btw.

OP also reported.

Book was shit.

Frivolous reporting will get you banned. Literature on a literature board will not. Enjoy your summer, high-school student.

i understand his views easily, and he seems like a cool guy. i like him.

I was disgusted by him when i first read this book in high school and i'm even more disgusted with him now.

>>789433
Yea when I was like 16

Didn't like Holden, nor did I relate to him. Awesome book though.

Most adolescents can relate with Holden, that's the fucking point. Of course you're going to outgrow your "Holden phase."

So is Catcher in the Rye /lit/'s meme like Aeroplane Over the Sea is /mu/'s?

>>790181
Lurk more before you post, ok?

>>790184
I never wanted to lurk here you guys seem to talk about shit literature 24/7.

>>790186

>>790189
BUMP for this AMAZING IMAGE.

/lit/ has much better tastes than /mu/.
That said, >>790189

It's doubtful that, by telling the story of a whiny 17-year-old reminiscing on things that happened to him when he was a whiny 16-year-old, J.D. Salinger intended to give sweaty man-birth to a new gospel. It was just a story, and a rather simple one at that: It's a few days in the unremarkable life of Holden Caulfield, a teenager who pretty much hates everything (like every teenager) except children.

>Catch-her in the eye

>>789433
i identify more with the intellectual he tries to strike up a conversation with in the bar.
i'm such a bastard.
well at least i aint phony

>>789433 Who else closely identifies with the main character, Holden?

So, you're being held for observation in a psychiatric hospital too?

GTFO.

It's funny because you copypastad Cracked.

>Implies that Holden Caufield is anything more than a less affecting version of Quentin Compson.

I do.
