i also once wrote a thing for /lit/ about this charming sort of hooligan, contented with a simple life and simple things, but it was a simple life lived exquisitely all the same, and i got uproarious applause, but i really am not a good writer lol

i always thought catcher in the rye's main demographic was angst teenagers which is why I don't think I'd enjoy it that much

Catcher in the Rye is witty and clever and thoughtful although it has some grammar mistakes in there (that may have been intentional idk). I thought it was well-accepted as a classic....
