Caught the Catcher in the Rye

Just finished reading The Catcher in the Rye the other night. Rather enjoyable book, if i must say. Full of realism and wonderful swearing. That's how fiction should be, a reflection of life.
Here's my reason why i read the book: deep inside, i feel obligated to read it. I had a gut feeling when i first saw that little book in the library. It kept saying "you're gonna love this book. you HAVE TO FUCKING READ IT!". And so i did. I read it, and my gut feeling was right.
Everyone is a Holden, or used to be one, or will become one. Everyone will have their chance of wearing that stupid looking red hat.
Everyone will.
Even the phony ones.
