The Second Time Around
Now that I’m a little older, I’m re-reading Catcher in the Rye at the recommendation of my friend Imran who claims that you’ll “get” more of it than you did as a teenager. So far he’s right. I about died laughing at this part:
“…he didn’t care because he was a goddam stupid moron. He hated it when you called him a moron. All morons hate it when you call them a moron.”
The book’s hero, Holden Caufield, reminds me exactly of my friend Ray. First person to request it in a comment gets my copy mailed to them when I’m finished. Except for you Europeans, ’cause I’m cheap and lazy and don’t want to fill out a damn customs form.

Ironic…I was just about to start reading this for my history class. I may have some questions for you towards the end of the month.
so we eurodonks get discriminated again huh? your fault!!1 now i wont send you my kafka books (obv in german language).
Yeah, I’ve read that book about 4 times. It’s really pretty amazing that I seem to understand it at a different level each time that I read it. I can’t think of another book that has grown with me quite so well.
Your Leif Force post was hilarious.
