It was interesting to read this again. I related to it in a different way and understood it better than I used to. I understand Holden more. How he's struggling and lonely and depressed and he wants to connect to people but doesn't allow anyone to get close, how he idealizes childhood and grieves his brother and misses his sister, how scared he is of responsibility and growing up... I really like how this is written and I'm glad I read it again although it's not one of my favorites.
