was
too goddam good. That's why he doesn't like bad stuff. You people should
think of something meaningful (yeah, like the Wonder Years) and relate it to
Catcher, cause there ain't no point in analyzing Holden's personality if ya
haven't figured it out yet. >>
thank you for enlightening me and the rest of the people that share this
mailing list.
(is it just me? or does anyone else find it rather refreshing when someone
comes from completely out of nowhere, rears up their incredibly beautiful
head and allows us a clear vision of the actuality of the questions in life
that seemed to cause personal puzzlement?)
is there anything else in JD's literture that's obvious that i'm not picking
up on or something else you personally feel that he wouldn't approve of that
you could share with me? i'm very interested for i hear Princeton is the
epicenter of Salinger knowledge... especially for the shitload of wannabe
salingerian intellectuals. or so i understand.
