I just hated Holden. No sympathizing for some faggot kid who just wants to beat up some hypocrites. Everyone's a hypocrite in some respect, so it seems rather futile. 9/16/2006 2:22:09 PM |

If there's something better than futility to describe the teenage male's experience, I haven't heard it.
I don't go around saying it's my favorite book, mainly because I'm not fifteen, but I think it's good.

Yes, I suppose you're right. Though never having been a teenage boy during/before reading the book may have been a handicap in that sense. 9/16/2006 10:47:57 PM |

If you don't have a dick, you don't get to criticize Holden.
