| It's grand that after a book like A Farewell to Arms, we're reading The Catcher in the Rye. It makes me like AP Lit a little bit. Except I know we're not going to talk about this book half as much as we talked about Hemingway's. You'd like it. It's not phony at all. It's hilarious. The book is so awesome. It's not anything you have to struggle with either. You should see how Holden talks about people! It's awesome. I love Holden Caulfield. Boy! He's grand. I love you all. |

| 1010101 | Re:, 03-25-05 8:40pm Yeah, but he is boring, slow, depressing, monotonous in style, and usually has little to no point in his works...

angel_bob | 03-25-05 11:05pm "What gets me about D.B., though, he hated the war so much, and yet he got me to read this book A Farewell to Arms last summer. He said it was so terrific. That's what I can't understand. It had this guy in it named Lieutenant Henry that was supposed to be a nice guy and all. I don't see how D.B. could hate the Army and war and all so much and still like a phony like that. I mean, for instance, I don't see how he could like a phony book like that and still like that one by Ring Lardner, or that other one he's so crazy about, The Great Gatsby. D.B. got sore when I said that, and said I was too young and all to appreciate it, but I don't think so. I told him I liked Ring Lardner and The Great Gatsby and all. I did, too. I was crazy about The Great Gatsby. Old Gatsby. Old sport. That killed me." |
