The Catcher in the Rye, again, but only because I needed a short, quick read. About a year ago, when I first read the book, I found myself, somehow, mesmerized by Holden's story. Now I find it almost, uh, phony. It seems like Salinger wrote the book for a chance to poke fun at kids like Holden, or that's how it comes across to me. Holden is almost as repulsive as the 'phonies' he finds himself surrounded by.
