The Catcher in the Rye

When you’re young it always seems that the world is against you so you revolt and try to fight back and it takes time to discover your own place in the sun.
There always must be someone between you and an abyss who wouldn't let you make a fatal step.
Mark David Chapman after he had shot John Lennon remained at the scene reading The Catcher in the Rye until the police arrived and arrested him � books aren’t a remedy for madness.
Just as someday, if you have something to offer, someone will learn something from you. It's a beautiful reciprocal arrangement. And it isn't education. It's history. It's poetry.

Madmen go their own psychotic paths.
Mark Chapman is a disgrace to literature. Nice review Babenco !
Even now—years after I first read it—it's one of my favorites!
There is a trend to Salinger: with every oeuvre his stories become shorter and his characters more infantile. Finally, he reduced himself to zero, writing but not publishing.
Nevertheless he remains one of the most groundbreaking and impressive authors.
