Originally posted by ziffhasnoaim/password Most people are brats, that's why. He was just honest about it, and didn't lie to himself about being a brat. My books came today. I was planning to read The 48 Laws of Power first, but then I realized it is 500 pages, with huge pages and tiny font. I might go for Sperm Wars first instead. I'm interested in that evolutionary psychology stuff. |

But in the terms he was he was just irritating, paranoid. Couldn't stand him. I think it is a teen culture thing. | |||

I tink that's WHY I like him so much. He doesn't try and pretend he's perfect, he doesn't try and pretend everyone else is perfect, he's blunt. He has his worries that really get to him, we all have those. He has his own struggles that seem so minor to us, but so believable with how they bother him. He's just... believable. Relatable.
You may not agree with me, but it's worth the read, at the very least. |

I've read it more than a few times. I think I had just heard so much about it as if it were the VERY HEIGHT of American literature. All of my friends it was brilliant, life changing, subversive. The you could relate to Holden and that you may not like him, but you can relate. When I first read it...I liked it. I didn't think it was anything special. The character was loathsome and his bluntness wasn't even realistic. The book highlighted what I dislike in literature for character development. That said I'd suggest the read because some people can relate to him. I think that is the strength of the book. It is a play and ploy on middle-America.
However, for those who suggest Ayn Rand, this link is effectively all you need to know right here |
