What do you think about J. D. Salinger? I remember when I was a 15 year old first reading the Catcher in The Rye getting hooked, like someone understands me, like I'm Holden like he's literally me and I was laughing at his sarcasm and how miserable he is.

Hundreds of years later and I'm still like that wretched book. Lately I'm thinking more about Salinger and what his words meant to me back then and my spirit is longing to read him again, like coming back home or something.

I know that many dislike The Catcher in The Rye and have their reasons for it, while many like The Catcher in The Rye such as myself.

Salinger did wrote a few other books before disappearing from the public in 1965 and wanting to be left alone

Why do people glaze Raskollnikov, a broke student who accepted religion, but not the true Radical Nihilist Nikolai Stavrogin from demons? He had gone with his philosophy till the end meanwhile Raskollnikov accepted religion.
