So I read Catcher in the Rye and I don't understand why is this book considered as deep and meaningful. Just some stupid thoughts of edgy kid

>White People Problems: The Book

I completely agree with you OP. When I was in highschool I was always told how great it was and everyone thought I'd love it. I was almost offended by that once I actually read the book...

>> No.2509853

the way i see it you can keep coming back to the book as you get older and take away something new

1. "i identify with holden" -- edgy teenager
2. "i reject holden and those who identify with him" -- edgy young adult
3. "i have compassion for holden and empathize with the people who take care of him" -- not-so-edgy older adult

god knows what i will think of the book if i read it again at 40 or 80 or some shit, my reaction will probably be "i can't imagine a world without digital social media"
