Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger. refer to the facebook group "Holden Caulfied is My Brilliantly Sarcastic Hero"! :D basically everyone who reads the book is either pro or anti-Holden. personally i think he has a nice touch of sensitivity that is lacking in alot of ppl. maybe 20 years later i'll think he's just an emo brat, but for now, he's my hero. :)
"It's hopeless, anyway. Even if you had a million years to do it in, you couldn't rub out even half the "fuck you" signs in the world."
i think this quote is just so sad...it's about how he was at an elementary school & he saw "fuck you" vandalism all over but he couldn't do anything about it. :(
P.S. i want to name my kid Holden now haha.
