Just finished reading pic related, what did I like about /lit/?

Holden Caulfield is a faggot, just like OP, so it was relatable

can't get the phoebe meme out of your head?

Holy..... I want more...

>>8512859
it is a fact that Holden raped his sister, Phoebe

>>8512859
The fact that it's over.

And now that you've met your quota by reading this book one time, you'll never have to touch it again.

I wish I could forget it and read it all over again.

>>8513222
checked

not op but yeah thank christ i felt so relieved after i finished it. in freshman year of college, when people figured out i liked to read they kept reccomending this book to me, so i read it just to quiet them.

desu never finished. read half of it in one sitting then put it in my backpack and never took it out.

Just read this this week. 200 pages of an edge Lord complaining and then it's over. Why is this so lauded?

>>8513406
You just don't get it man

>>8513217
Nowhere in my book was that even indicated. Did I read a censored version or is this one of these so called "memes"?

>>8513406
Because it's a well portraited character. He's a faggot, but believable

Pretty good. The greatest irony about this story is how a kid just asking for someone to listen and failing falls on so many deaf ears.

There are so many goddam phonies in this thread that I could puke.

>>8513487
It is a meme.

You're a year underage, get out.

is it worth reading for the first time if I'm 25?

Also I'm a fag.

>>8514102
And then the faggot ends with "don't tell nobody anything"

>>8514124
To tell you the truth I hate phones. Boy, do I hate them. They kill me.

>>8513406
It's about a teenager struggling with his transition into adulthood. That's why everyone in high school thought they were Holden Caulfied

Historical analysis: Holden has PTSD, just like Salinger.

>>8514154
Prime age to read it. The book's wasted on highscoolers, all they get out of it is "Holden is so me!" or "Holden is annoying!".

>>8514694
I'm Max Caulfield desu sampai xP

>>8514154
It's not worth the dough. Just thinking about it makes me depressed you know.

anyone who dislikes it because they didn't like Holden's character missed the point, he's supposed to come off as a twat that you come to understand better as the story progresses
