The Catcher in the Rye

Author: J.D. Salinger

Holden Caulfield’s story, “The Catcher in the Rye,” resonated deeply with me when I first read it in high school. Holden’s journey through New York City, his unfiltered thoughts, and relentless search for authenticity struck a chord. Salinger captured the angst and alienation of adolescence so vividly. Each chapter felt like a conversation with an old friend who just gets it. This book isn’t just a classic; it’s a window into the fragile beauty of finding one’s place in a bewildering world.

The mark of the immature man is that he wants to die nobly for a cause, while the mark of the mature man is that he wants to live humbly for one.
