Catcher in the Rye
My exact thought as well. It was mandatory in HS, and i just never got the hype. Holden Caufield is a whiny phony.
It's fun irony to try to have a bunch of angsty teens read a book about an angsty teen. I bet it would come across very different to read it as an adult.
It's only fair. They whined about reading a book by a 51-year old author (Black Beauty). Now they get a taste of their own medicine.
I probably wouldn't have killed John Lennon if that was the case.
So you don't remember being a teenager?
Nope. Came out of the womb at 37.
Is your mom okay?
I liked it because it's a journey with a traumatized teenager. As a teenager who didnt realize I had cptsd it hit hard for me
