any anons read this? I'm reading Catch-22 right now and goddamnit I love it.

>>8448821
i loved catch-22
tried reading something happened and it made me depressed and convinced all my friends were fake (as it turns out, all but one of them actually were)

>>8448918
alright holden

>>8448932
i know it sounds holden, but it's actually the truth
i had a pretty sizable social circle, and only one of them kept in touch with me after graduation (and in any case nobody ever invited me to hang out even when i felt like we were friends)

>>8448932
yo who else actually like hardcore identified with holden the first time they read catcher in the rye when they were like 13? everyone has gone through that phase, right?

>>8448973
i didn't read catcher in the rye until i was like 17
and by that time i already hated him

>>8448973
>everyone has gone through that phase, right?
no because i watched my older sister go through it and i vowed to myself that i would never be that cringey

>>8449033
fuck, i'm the oldest sibling, so i'm sure i'm the one who demonstrated the depths of cringe to the others

C22 is dope as shit and so is Something Happened. U shud read it. Not as funny or anything but a damn solid read, especially if you already want to kill yourself. Very personal and very Hellers-last-good-thing
