【Not a "stuffy" classic...】
The Catcher in the Rye is one of the most entertaining books I have read.
The characters in the book are very real and entertaining.*****
Salinger's CATCHER, frequently glorified by the passing teenage generation, is rightly done so.+++++
Our hero, the frank & blatantly blunt Holden Caufield, see the raucous, charging world through the honest and moody eyes of any pubescent male, from any time.!!!
His biting insights are short, to the point, and unlike most of the society surrounding him, he's not "phony".
After sharing a small breakfast with some ladies of the church..
..He comments: "That's what I liked about the nuns. You could always tell, for example, that they never went anywhere swanky for lunch." If you're tired with the "worn-out trumpery"..
.. and the the trappings of the materialistic world, read this book.★★★★★
