Holden is kind of insufferable. The guy is SO annoying it nearly ruins the book. Maybe guys back then just were really annoying, but Dazai Osamus character in No longer Human wasn’t as bad honestly

Talking about hating the war and the Army. Mentions that he wouldn’t mind dying right away, but cannot hold out with the annoying people there. Mentions that his brother D.B. was involved in D-Day.

He wants to run away and start a life without responsibilities - reminds me a little of Esther. He hates what is expected of him and cannot get over the role society has written him up for. For him conversations sound scripted and phoney. I still don’t really like Holden as a person, however, this is something that resonates with me and was a big drama back then for sure. Especially the criticism of guys.

Title comes from a nursery rhyme Holden hears that makes him feel better. The scene where he had the fight with the elevator boy, because of the prostitutes payment was interesting - he cried

The girl he’s calling up is called Cavendish, no kidding

Talking about feeling lonely the first time. Feeling disconnected and expressing a wish to be dead. Still talking about way to unimportant things though
