The Catcher in the Rye. J. D. Salinger. Look, I'm going to be honest, I first read this in year 11 when I was 17 and I thought it was awesome. I loved the idea of the rebellious main character who just seemed super cool and kind of just ignored the rest.. However, I had to revisit this novel in my second year of uni and boy was I kicking myself. I could not get through this book without feeling frustration, annoyance and just wanting to throw the book. I mean, I know I've matured since then, but wow was I in shock. I first saw Holden as this interesting, cool character, but when revisiting, all I really felt was sorrow. Rereading this really opened up my eyes, I'm not too sure if it's because of the few years in between or what.. but Salinger's writing had way more of an impact on me.. beautifully written.

Don't tell people what you are thinking, or you will miss them terribly when you are away.

“What really knocks me out is a book that, when you're all done reading it, you wish the author that wrote it was a terrific friend of yours and you could call him up on the phone whenever you felt like it. That doesn't happen much, though.”

Tegnap igazából a phd munkámhoz érkezett rengeteg #margaretatwood szöveg, amelyekből biztos mutatok még, mert zseniális az a nő, nem csak az, amilyen történeteket ír, hanem ahogy művészetről, írásról és alkotásról gondolkodik. Ez az idézet viszont #jdsalinger -től van. #salinger az az író, akitől és akiről mindent olvastam, ez az egy könyv hiányzott csak. Valahogy mindig akkor kerül a kezembe, amikor már időtlen idők óta kergetek egy választ. Aztán csak kinyitom és ott van. Tessék. #szívesen #írás #writersofinstagram #margaretatwood #salinger #salingerquote #literature #irodalom #americanliterature #canadianlit #bookstagram #bookblog #quote #quoteoftheday #napiidézet #idézet #writing #writingprocess #wayout #escape #mutimitolvasol #mutiakönyved #könyv #könyvesblogger (helyszín: Budapest, Hungary) https://www.instagram.com/p/B4hQ6gFB7Tk/?igshid=19yqnn4fcvu7v
