The Catcher in the Rye


not a pleasant reading experience
i hate all the whining of Holden Caulfield
though i love his idea of pretending to be a deaf-mute
to enjoy emptiness & isolation of life
i have been embracing this ostrich in the sand mentality so long
especially when the heaviness of being is unbearable.
the origin of the name:
thousands of little kids r playing in a big field of rye
n I'm standing on the edge of some crazy cliff
what i have to do is to catch everybody if they start to go over the cliff
that's all I'd do all day
I'd just be the catcher in the rye.
