Books, authors, and reading.

[Newt]

I'm reading Catcher in the Rye now. After the fourth time in my life, someone compared me to Holden Caulfield, I've decided to go through with it. It usually happens when people discover my middle name is Holden. They go "Aw, like Holden Caulfield! ...Dude, you're actually kinda like him."

I never cared until I finally said "I didn't read that book. It was required reading, but the book sucked so I just texted in class." and friends would be like "Yup. Sounds like Holden." So now, at 22 years old, I'm finally reading it. I don't know WHY I like it, but I like it so far.

That's one of my favorite books, and I have read a LOT of books in my day.

I just finished it. I really liked it. I think it's because the book didn't really have a significant plot. There was no major antagonist. It was just, a day in the life of Holden Caulfield while he waited for his time at the school to be up.
