Yeah, I know this isn't one I mentioned before, but I went and bought it a few days ago (and couldn't put it down) - The Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger. I really enjoyed it, though I developed a real love-hate relationship for Holden. The reason for that, I think, is because I seem to be quite a bit like him (I just hope I'm not that much of a prick, heh), and for reasons that I am a bit too bashful to share (or perhaps I'm aware of how incredibly pretentious that would sound - not sure). I very much love how it is written definitively how a seventeen year old boy talks and would tell that story. Perfect.
It is a book that I regretfully never read in high school, as it was never assigned to me in any class. Then again I never did take any initiative to read it, so who's the bad guy, who's the bad guy? I dunno, but that is one book down, and at the very least four to go. I am glad to say that the first one is a book that I will read again.
And what a hell of a start!
