Finished: The Catcher in the Rye (Salinger). A book I couldn't put down. My heart broke for Holden Caulfield with the beyond-his-years running dialogue in his head. Sometimes stream of conscious writing is so hard for me to follow, but I followed this one so clearly. Maybe I have an adolescent mind? Maybe I related to the loss of his brother. The minute I read about Allie, I thought, therein lies all the turmoil, whether he knows it or not. I always wondered why I'd never read this book, and I realize, it was probably banned in the 70's when I was in high school! It is, though, now a book that will stick with me for a long, long time.
