well, I'm Josh. I've read all my library has to offer on salinger but that's
not a whole lot. not alot of people my age(17) seem to be interested in any
literature except modern pop novels (john grisham, stephen king, etc..) or
magazines..
but I will start off my time on this list by asking a pretty simple question
about _Catcher in the Rye_: Is Holden Caulfield's vernacular reflective of
the way the author talks or is it more representative of all prep school
teenagers in the 1940s?
Or is it just Salinger making a unique, memorable character? anyway, Ive
unconciously taken in a lot of Caulfield's phrases and used them in everyday
life.. I hope this doesn't make me a phony.
