  7. Here is the little synopsis from Barnes and Noble. I was scheduled to read it my final year in high school but ended up transfering schools to a private institution for my final year where they had alredy read it in a previous year's work, so now I'm finally going back and catching up on it. I could have sworn that I checked it out of the library at one point my senior year with the intent to read it but the more I think about it, I'm sure I never did. The hero-narrator of THE CATCHER IN THE RYE is an ancient child of sixteen, a native New Yorker named Holden Caulfield. Through circumstances that tend to preclude adult, secondhand description, he leaves his prep school in Pennsylvania and goes underground in New York City for three days. The boy himself is at once too simple and too complex for us to make any final comment about him or his story. Perhaps the safest thing we can say about Holden is that he was born in the world not just strongly attracted to beauty but, almost, hopelessly impaled on it. There are many voices in this novel: children's voices, adult voices, underground voices-but Holden's voice is the most eloquent of all. Transcending his own vernacular, yet remaining marvelously faithful to it, he issues a perfectly articulated cry of mixed pain and pleasure. However, like most lovers and clowns and poets of the higher orders, he keeps most of the pain to, and for, himself. The pleasure he gives away, or sets aside, with all his heart. It is there for the reader who can handle it to keep. The Lovely Bones really captured a part of me. In all honesty, it was one of the most difficult books for me to read just because of the beginning, but I would consider it a great book and one that I want to read again before I form a fully rounded opinion of it. How about you?
  8. I just bought Catcher in the Rye last night along with Flowers for Algernon (couldn't resist its one of my all time favorites) and The Lovely Bones. I have read the second two but don't remember if I had ever read Catcher in the Rye or have just always wanted to. I'll try and resist cracking open CitR until I finsih Gone with the Wind. Hopefully I can make a bit of a dent in it this weekend!
