my outside reading book

Alright……….so I think this is blog post four… I think

            So I’m reading The Catcher in the Rye and I like it. Everyone said it was good; it’s also like one of those classics that everyone has heard of, not unlike To Kill a Mockingbird. Any way I really am enjoying it… I’m going to read ahead in it this weekend and I’m already half way through. I also like all the characters which is rare for me. The settings are beautifully described and the book draws you into it, even when not much is happening.

So at this point I’m thinking about doing my project about the setting of the book. I was just going to do a poster with the city or something on it.  I picked it because the actual setting is a lot more inspired than my project idea. I know like big cities are like and the book reflects them. A lot of the descriptions are of a drab, depressing place, which kind of sets the tone for the rest of the book.

            The book reminds me of the Pendragon series. Both books are about sixteen year olds setting out on their own without any instruction. The main difference is that Caulfield is a lot more mature than “Bobby”. And bobby is determined to prove to you that he is the whiniest little jerk* you have seen.

            Also going back to the “one of those classics that everyone has heard of” thing if you can put “Holden Caulfield” into word and it accepts it as a name, then that just shows how widely known the book is.
