The Catcher In The Rye by J.D. Salinger

i've read 3/4 of this book when i was in Cork just before the summer break. i got frustrated after reading it for a while, so i didn't even try to finish the whole thing. this, however, is not due to the book not being a good one; it's really good, in fact. BUT it's packed with symbols and whatnots. i'm one that's interested in literature, sure. but i'm no literary genius. so it gets to me that i'm not getting the whole geist of the book, and i wished and i wished that i've learned the book in school so i can understand it better. when i first started reading it, i knew there were way more to the book than what i'm getting, but nobody around me have ever even read the book, let alone learned it. so nobody was there to explain it to me or discuss it with me.

but yesterday John Green uploaded a video on YouTube to say that he's going to upload two videos on there to explain the book and he said he's going to be very englishteacherly and stuff innit, so YEAY. i'm excited :D

nerds for the...win!?
