"I'm at a standstill with this one. I've got to the section where the style of writing is very garbled and difficult to decipher. Thinking of cheating and reading a summary of it online somewhere and resuming the book in the next section. To be honest I'm not quite sure I'm understanding the whole concept, it's quite creative and skillfully done." — Apr 09, 2016 10:42AM

“Anyway, I keep picturing all these little kids playing some game in this big field of rye and all. Thousands of little kids, and nobody's around - nobody big, I mean - except me. And I'm standing on the edge of some crazy cliff. What I have to do, I have to catch everybody if they start to go over the cliff - I mean if they're running and they don't look where they're going I have to come out from somewhere and catch them. That's all I do all day. I'd just be the catcher in the rye and all. I know it's crazy, but that's the only thing I'd really like to be.”
