The Catcher In The Rye

I'm almost at the end of it, it's quite interesting hearing the thoughts of someone like Holden Caulfield, going on about random things sometimes that have nothing to do with what's occuring in the present, it sounds like something I would do if I were the main character in a story, and the best part is that something like that sounds so realistic, just travling through New York, and all the things he was thinking about, and how he didn't feel like doing some things sometimes, it sounds a bit like what I would do. Did you know that the author, J.D. Salinger, died recently, it's kind of sad knowing that he's the author of such a classic, I wish they'd make a movie of it, but somehow, I don't know if it would be exciting enough, and even they did, people are going to make a lot of comparisons between the book and the movie, and they would want it to be precise, but knowing the movie industry, they'd probably cut out a lot just for time's sake, although if they make it like three hours long or so, kinda like Watchmen, it'd get a lot of it in, but it probably won't be very exciting due to the fact that what Holden was going through could happen to anyone and I'm sure a lot of people would compare themselves to him, but the majority of the public would just think it's boring because it's so realistic, and people prefer the impossible things that happen in chick flicks that are so unrealistic and that it sets peoples expectations rather high, because nothing ever happens like that in reality, sure there are a few people who've had certain events happen to them, but that's the exception, the majority of the population would be the rule. You'd pretty much know that if you've ever seen He's Just Not That Into You and 500 Days of Summer, I think J.D. Sallinger knows what he's talking about when he portrays Holden Caulfield like that in that kind of storyline, to show that all the actors in the movie industry are the reasons why men like me have had their hearts broken so many times, because we expect reality to be like it is in the movies and we imagine ourselves to be the main protagonist in order to provide stimulation, so we go to these movies because our lives aren't exciting enough, because it's not reality and we want things to go our way, that's just it, we just want things to go our way. Well, I think I've ranted enough here, it's nice to find someone who appreciates literature like I do.

I went to high school, so yes, I did.
It was the most beautiful thing I had to read for American lit.
But the most enjoyable part of the book was the knowledge that Holden was probably lying about everything that happened, that his life isn't that exciting, that he's just a troubled kid trying to sound exciting.

have i ever read it?? HOLDEN CAULFIELD.....

I want to read it but haven't yet
