2 journalers for this copy...
Got this tonight at a meet up but it wasn't registered. I picked it up because my husband and I have been watching episdoes of "Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex" which has an on-going plot revolving around a quote from this book. My husband has read the book but I have not. It seems time that I do. :)
"I thought what I'd do was, I'd pretend I was one of those deaf-mutes." (p. 198). That quote is why I finally decided I wanted to read the book. It shows up in The Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex series. My husband had read the book and said I should read it too so when the opportunity presented itself to me, I had to. Now having read the book I see much more of the of it in the series than just this short quote used by the Laughing Man.
Beyond inspiring an arc plot in an animae series, Catcher in the Rye seems to be the book that so many recent first person rambling books with teenage male protagonists spring from. The book reminds me a great deal of The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time though better written. There's also a bit of Everything is Illuminated as well but again, much better written.

Journal Entry 5 by veganknitter from Bolton, Greater Manchester United Kingdom on Thursday, November 24, 2005
Thanks so much caligua03 - I've just sent my very old copy to someone else so this is a lovley replacement.
I loved this book when I was a teenager and I'm sure that I will love it still now I'm 43.
Holden Caulfield is a wonderful character and narrator; no wonder that this book has been so influential.
