I just read it for the first time recently. Top tier, in contention for the great American novel.
Thinking about reading "Nine Stories" at some point. Hopefully it is even a fraction as good.

I hated it in the beginning because I found Holden to be an annoying brat but by the end of it I could only feel bad for him.

hes playing pretend. you could decide one day that captain ahab rapes moby dick and it would be a fun thing you said and you could repeat it every time moby dick comes up and it will be so funny we will all laugh every time you say it it will never not be funny
