I'm about halfway through but I'm throwing in the towel on this one. Holden Caulfield and I are just not vibing. He sees the worst in every person he meets and situation he finds himself in and bums me out. He is the literary version of Buzz Killington. I don't know if this is the point or if he grows as a character, all I know is I have lots of other books to read and this one is only bumming me out.
