Re: Tell us that one literary classic novel you hate...

I'll go on record and admit I'm seemingly one of the few people online who'll admit they related to Holden back when they read Catcher in the Rye as a teenager.

It's cool, I'll be another one of those few people. I don't remember what it was specifically since I haven't read it since then, but he felt autistic to me and I related to that.

Yeah, that's what most people say who liked the book - they related to Holden very strongly. I'm not saying I was without angst and indecision and gormlessness when I was a teenager - of course I had all that going on, as we all do. I just felt like the book slogged on about all that without any forward movement. We grew up and (hopefully) left most of that behind us. Holden showed no signs of that character progression. I didn't find his institutionalization (an outward force) to be a sign of good things to come, so he was obnoxious at the beginning and presumably medicated at the end. That was not satisfying growth to me.

I'm not at all surprised.
