catcher_in_the_rye creetch i like rye bread catch those kids everywhere, there are "fuckyou"s - and even when u thought u had found yourself a little place for your own, turn your head, and there, will be a "fuckyou" after all, i hate the smell of Vicks nose drops all those damn phonies we live in a world of phonies all those phonies that laugh at everything that is not funny fuckyou phonies 030125 ... megan holden :) 030125 ... silentbob i have like a lovehate relationship with holden fucking caufield 030125 ... girl_jane I'd like to talk to Holden if he were real. if a body catch a body coming through the rye... 030125 ... niska if Holden were someone i knew, i always thought i'd have fallen in love with him. i now know someone very much like that character and he is the only one in the world (other than my mom) who can take any shit day and turn it into sunshine with little-to-no effort - it's not love, it's wonderment. 030325 ... nomatter I did fall in love with holden reading that book. Just the type of person I would like. 030914 ... stork daddy ah what's it all for? i hope phoebe or whatever her name misses the ring. 030914 ... endless desire i fell in love with holden. he fell in love with me. and then the final page turned and i realized he would never leave the bindings of that book, so now i carry the words within me always. 030914 ... imposter One of my greatest shames is that I have never finished that book. I finish every book! Why not that one??? 030914 ... shivers i read it for the first time when i was a kid, it feels like i understood it better then. does that make sense? or did i just turn into one of those phonies myself. loss of innocence 030914 ... girl_jane I think a lot of the females who read the book fall for Holden... 030914 ... nomatter weird, but good to know. every girl wants a crazy boy. 030915 ... amy I am, but I'm really not, and especially this time of year... it's just a dance between inhibition and restraint. By most of my estimates, it's not anybody in particular that I'm mad at -- which is good. the goal would be avoiding early-onset dementia. and public service, whatever that may be, given my persepectual swings. the more books I manage to read this year, the better off I'll be in the winter. in the late 90s, I thought a bit on the phrase "time out of mind", probably because I was losing a sense of time. then I found out Bob Dylan had just put out a CD by the same name. I've only just now been "allowed" to listen to this album (believe me, I tried), and it's so good. however, none of this really matters, unfortunately. i'm sure this whole sense of permissions leaves me a little "touched", but it aso parses out the goodies in a nice way, so there are some idiosyncracies that I really have no complaints over. I like getting up early on the weekends, driving places when there's nobody around. I sincerely wish I could get up at the break of dawn everyday. 080503 ... epitome of incomprehensibility The book reminds me of grade 10, when I first read it... It wasn't so much the dilemna whether or not Holden was a phony, or other such questions, that made it an interesting read and ponder-starter, but the flow of the language and story... interesting personality, though, definitely. (Given the narrator's attitude towards school, I was a little angry when I had to write an essay about this book. He wouldn't have approved.) 080503 what's it to you? who go blather from
