I'm wanting to make this all look less bare bones SO I'll add some content ^-^
I got finished reading The Catcher In The Rye a few weeks back and it was really pretty good, but I'm still left thinking about the ending. Basically, its about Holden Caulfield and how he perceives the world, starting with him leaving, having been kicked out, of his private school and continuing with him travelling back home. I really kinda liked it, especially him as a character. he was one of those characters you get exasperated with but you're still really intrigued to follow (I know a few of them myself). His view of the world at times, seemed very akin to mine, in terms of how he viewed a lot of the general populous as phoney, though I'd like to think I'm not quite so bipolar as he seems to be. His interpretation of the world is one I think a lot of us could benefit from taking into account, even if we don't connect with it, but that's just what i think. I won't spoil the end for two reasons.
1. I know its a 60 year old book, but i don't want to spoil it for anyone
2. if you haven't read it, i don't think me explaining it would do it justice, you'll either get it or you won't. That is to say you'll like it and come away thinking, or you'll get even more confused by the book and think it crappy. Hopefully the former, but meh, it's not that intellectual ;)
Bloody Hell, I need to sort out the waffle in all this if i want anyone to read it and actually get anything out of it. XD Forgive me, for this is my first time. I'll get better, i promise!
Many a Lady have heard the very same words, under a very different context.
NEXT UP: I'm making my way through 'Do Androids Dream Of Electric Sheep' It's the film that got made into Blade Runner. Apparently Philip K. Dick (the author) was really unhappy with the film, so i thought id go ahead and read the book. :D
BANG. and the dirt is gone.
