How did you find it I went shopping some books this weekend and I got The Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger , Tell the Wolves I'm Home by Carol Rifka Brunt AND The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern .

Adriana | 3888 comments Welcome Jayne [:


°ä³ó±ô´Çé (fullmetalclo) | 573 comments Now completed my third book, The Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger , I liked it. I liked the depressed teenager, who doesn't know what he wants to do with his life. But I'm still not sure how much I liked it, it could be a 3 stars book or a 4 one, I'm not sure. It's hard to explain, I really liked the character, I liked his personality and attitude, and he wouldn't be who he is if the book would have been written differently, but at the same time, the book kind of bored me... guess the book, made me be in the same lousy mood he was in. So if it made me feel the way he felt, then I guess it's a good book, but I can't say I enjoy reading it. Does it makes any sense?
