than him. He has such useless insights and comments and the vocabulary of a two year old. I genuinely see what the intention of the character was but salinger managed to fail so hard that rather than coming of as a real 16 year old with a hate everything attitude it comes off as a annoying brat who thinks he know it all. I get that he doesn’t care abt his classes to study but my god someone has to slap some sense

into him he’s so insufferable. Feeling like you’re the only non phony is sth i can get but having so little respect for anyone else other than yourself and being so fucking blinded in your self indulgence to see you’re way worse than everyone else is not. Somehow salinger managed to take a pretty universal teen experience and make it so unrelatable and unbearable. I don’t think I will enjoy the rest either.

This book has been on my to read list for a long time and i’m finally reading it solely to talk to El abt it. I knew it was a controversial book but my god Holden is the most insufferable character i’ve ever seen. He calls everyone a phony and blames all his flunking to others being a phony, meanwhile he’s the biggest one of all. He seems so high up on his horse that everything and everyone is less interesting
