Thoughts?

It's a good book.

When I read it I identified with Holden's angst and insecurities

Me too senpai, still do

I'm almost 30--but not a phony

Yea, it has a few I suppose

So what's with the "Holden raped his sister" meme. I don't remember that happening, but it's been six years since I picked it up.

It's good, I just expected a better resolution to the problem rather than just "grow up, Holden"

I read this in a single day
you weren't born yet

it was my second book with 'fuck' in it

It was fun 5 years ago to claim that it happened to trigger newfags. Same with the teacher 'molesting' him.

>inb4 we go again, and retards reply

I liked it. Sort of anti-climatic but I suppose it was worth the read.

This book was the original bait.

I was genuinely surprised by how much I liked it and found Holden very relatable and well written.

It's the perfect novel for intellectual gentlemen like myself

Hush up

...

Well the second part totally happened.

Did it? Which passage suggests this?

It's like Notes from Underground for Kids.

not necessarily. the ambiguity of the relationship between Holden and his mentors was an integral element to the primary theme of the novel.
Not being able to discern the intentions of the teacher was the point.

This relationship theme is reciprocated between Holden's sister and him, when she's angry at him even though he was keeping her best interest in mind. Benevolence when viewed from below casts an ambiguously malevolent shadow.

His teacher was likely just proud of Holden and patting his head as an affectionate gesture of pride, but when seen from below it resembles malevolence.

When Holden wakes up to his teacher drunkenly stroking his hair as he slept.

>Catcher in the Rye is kids tier
>Notes is teenager tier
