Catcher In The Rye is a book that hits home for self-absorbed, self-obsessed pessimist, egotistical, "Bo-hoooo noone understands me and everyone is out to ruin my life and I am the only one whose feelings REALLY matter" teenage boys.
I got into a huge shouting argument with my brother who saw the book as being about a young boy who life has screwed (to put his argument simply) , while I saw it as all resulting from the idiot protagonist's own bullshit (to put my argument simply).
both views are probably correct, but either way I'd punch that fucker in the neck if I ever had to deal with him for more than ten minutes.
