The Catcher in the Rye

by J. D. Salinger

If you really want to hear about it, the first thing you'll probably want to know is where I was born, and what my lousy childhood was like, and how my parents were occupied and all before they had me, and all that David Copperfield kind of crap, but I don't feel like going into it, if you want to know the truth.

This is, without a doubt, the most pointless book ever. It doesn't even have enough of a point for me to dislike it. It real just is pointless. A huge waste of time. The main character is flat, and irritating. There is really no plot. Which makes for a bad book. I do not know how this book remained popular because it doesn't deserve it. Maybe the world should reevaluate what makes a classic book. Because this should never fall under that.

Relato largo con las musitaciones internas de un adolescente medio malote y con angustia moral típica de su edad. Hay gente que dice que no resiste una relectura adulta, pero a mí me encantó a los 19 años (técnicamente adolescencia, y tal). Me sentía retratado en algunas cosas, las suficientes como para pensar que el libro era para mí. Lo devoré y le guardo muy buen recuerdo.
