Holden is different. Not a bad kind of different, but just different. He's the kind of different you think of when you can't really think of a way to describe something extraordinary. [that is so going in my novel!]
What I am really enjoying about this book is that J.D. Salinger hasn't really established a severe problem or goal that Holden must accomplish. So far it seems to me like Holden is just confused about life and I like that, it's very... easy to relate to.
I also love how Holden says that Jane really knocks him out. It's so cute!
Two of my favorite lines from this week are:
-"If you was a fish, Mother Nature'd take care of you, wouldn't she? Right? You don't think fish just die when it gets to be winter, do ya?" [from the very 'touchy' cab driver, Horwitz]
-"If I were a piano player, I'd play it in the goddam closet." [just a thought from Holden]
I am very much enjoying this book. I feel like Holden is an old friend of mine, but I can't put my finger on who...
