Catcher in the Rye

Why can't I just sit down once in a while and just READ. I buy books that interest me, interest me very much. These books have gotten great reviews, and their first chapters are incredible. When people ask me what I'm reading, I tell them all 3 titles, it may sound impressive, but the truth is I'm on Chapter 2 in all 3 of them. Chapter 1s were GOOD, maybe I'll do the rest during Easter Break.... HA right

I've decided to put these 3 aside, interesting as they may be, and to start Catcher in the Rye again. It's my favorite book, and is one of the few books I read entirely for school, the others are The Perks of Being a Wallflower, the Good People of New York, Gatsby, and the Crucible. Catcher is amazingly written, funny, emotional, and has had a lasting impression on me. I won't give away the end, although the one person that reads me consistently has read it aswell, but the end of this book was as perfect asthe rest. This is usually not the case with the books I read.... Good People of NY had a teribble ending even though the rest of it was wonderful. Perks, also has a great ending, it reminds me a lot of Catcher. Perks is very often reffered to as a modernized, more extreme (obviously authors get away with much more now than when Catcher was written) version of Catcher. I cant wait to read it again, and will definately enjoy every moment. Ahh the pimp chapter!
