love it, definitely can see the underlying misogyny but I don’t think that should be the main reason people hate on this book so thoroughly.
too tired to keep reading, I will come back and write something better.

Stradlater getting ready for a date and asked Holden to do his composition.

He’s really funny, sue me. He is 16, I’m 18, and I still kinda view things the way he does in terms of ‘how the world works’. His thoughts while interacting with people are exactly what I think when I’m talking to people, especially teachers. We’ll see if things take a turn and if he’s the asshole everyone seems to make him out to be or if he’s just a teenage boy that isn’t socially connected

I just started it, this is my first time reading it. I really don’t know anything about it. so far I’m really liking it overall and how it’s a stream of consciousness writing.
I find him kinda funny and relatable at least right now. I’ll see if I come into the misogynistic themes that I only seem to hear about in regards to this book. it’s definitely literary fiction which I’m really looking forward too
