The Catcher in the Rye

I have no clue why I wanted to read 'the catcher of the rye' but I'm really glad I did. I had a great time reading it. I knew this kid once that I picture as Holden Caulfield and I guess that made me like it even more. I missed him. None of you know this kid, I met him randomly but he keeps a blog and his style of writing reminds me of Holden. Anyways... The story is about a kid thats 17, his parents are rich and he's sent off to prep school and he's been kicked out of four and he recently got kicked out of his fifth. He goes about his experiences and how crappy some of his life has been and then he goes on about this girl that made him really happy and his roommate had a date with her and Holden asked him how it went and he made it sound like he just banged her which made Holden very mad. Him and his roommate went at it and he decided to take off. He takes off to New York and has these weird experiences back to back. Well I really don't want to get into it. He gets very depressed in the book and go on this emotional roller coaster with him, the highs and lows of different situations. But all in all its a great read and I hope you pick it up one day. Well this is another one knocked off my list :)
