I journeyed with Holden Caulfield on his homeward journey from Pencey Prep to New York City for the third time over the past two days. I first read this when I was in my teens, a second time while in college, and now for the third time in my early 60s. It's still a great book and continues to entertain and cause me to think deeply.
