I picked up Catcher In The Rye again after I finished 1984 the other day. Jesus Christ I love that book. Probably because Holden reminds me of myself in many ways. And because after reading it I feel like theres a Holden Caulfield I could call up and talk about the state of the world with. Or something.


That's how I felt when I first read CITR at about age 15. Then I read it again when I was about 18. I got an entirely different view of Holden and myself when I re-read it. I suggest you do the same a few years down the road.

I read The Plague by Alberu Camus today. Good stuff. Tomorrow I've got to read a book about Ralph Nader or read Melville's Bartleby and Benito Cereno. Ah, college.

Currently I'm reading Ayn Rand's The Fountainhead. If anyone has read it and would like to share their opinions, I would love to hear them.

Just finished the curious incident of the dog in the night-time. Good little book. I'd recommend it.

I've been meaning to read this for a while, but am puttin it off for one reason:

The entire series is probably 4000-5000 pages long. :shock:

Oh man, I read the first two books and was blown away, but I never got around to the third. I think I'm going to re-read all of them this summer.
