THIS makes me genuinely sad.
Catcher in the Rye helped me laugh at myself. We've lost a reclusive but great mind.
"We are only seeking Man. We have no need of other worlds. We need mirrors. We don't know what to do with other worlds. A single world, our own, suffices us; but we can't accept it for what it is. We are seaching for an ideal image of our own world" - Solaris
I was Holden when I was in high school.

Still detest Stradlaters and all people who live by pretense, but the passing years have taught me that other Holdens might see me as a Stradlater. You can't be the protagonist in everybody's novel. Life requires villains.
