reflective

For a story that has been hailed as 'one of the 100 best English-language novels of the 20th century' I was not impressed. As a period piece, I have appreciation for this novel. Blame it on my angst-free, unalienated, and rebellion-lacking teenage years but, Holden has got to be one of the most annoying characters I've ever met in literature. So that's that. Oh, and he's phony too!

DNF on page 37. I know it's a precious book for a majority of people but I was so bored I just couldn't keep reading.
