I'm in the process of reading the Catcher in the Rye, thanks to a suggestion from my lit arts teacher.

Two words,

HOLY. SHIT.

I fucking love this book, the writing is so good and fluent, it really is. Has anyone ever read this book? It's great!

I think you only connect to him if you relate to his situations. When I was a teen I related to him a lot, and found the book to be almost a path of some sort for me.

But damn... talk about nostalgia, I might go and pick up this book and read it again for shits and giggles.

I'd argue that the narrator from NftU is less likeable. At least Holden will grow out of his teen angst.

Honestly I don't know. I stopped going on /fa/ as much once I lost my hair and got out of anorexic mode.

It's very poignant if you can relate to Holden.

I didn't like it 'cause the asshole main character reminded me of myself and what an asshole I am.
