      My exact thought as well. It was mandatory in HS, and i just never got the hype. Holden Caufield is a whiny phony.

        It’s fun irony to try to have a bunch of angsty teens read a book about an angsty teen. I bet it would come across very different to read it as an adult.

          It’s only fair. They whined about reading a book by a 51-year old author (Black Beauty). Now they get a taste of their own medicine.

          I probably wouldn’t have killed John Lennon if that was the case.

        So you don’t remember being a teenager?

          Nope. Came out of the womb at 37.

            Is your mom okay?

              A little bowlegged, but otherwise fit as a fiddle.

                I don’t know what I expected. Still hilarious, though.

                  Huh, she said the same thing…

                    You may have just overthrown Steve Carell as the champion of “That’s what she said” jokes.

        I liked it because it’s a journey with a traumatized teenager. As a teenager who didnt realize I had cptsd it hit hard for me
