it was a nice, one of the nicest I read lately

Just finished reading The Catcher in the Rye. It was quite good, really. It made me glad in some ways, when I read some parts where there are things I often think about- like, things that's kind of hard to explain, except if you had experience it yourself- written there, nice and all out in a book. A book that was written about fifty years ago, when my parents hadn't even met each other. It's kind of awesome if you think about it, right?

And I didn't know that that book was some great deal at first ('at first' means when I was just had read like, five to ten pages), I didn't know all that John Lennon stuff. In fact I was just borrowing some book from a friend of mine- I thought it'd kill time, we were waiting for a plane from Bali to fly back to Jakarta. After some pages, I felt like going to that bathroom and since I'm a teenager girl in a new place (well, the airport) I asked my friend to accompany me and I said something about that book I can't recall and she went, "Yeah, you know what book is it, don't you?" and I said no and she told me. Then I asked her, why could someone possibly inspired to kill others after reading that book, and she said, "Well. You see how that guy (Holden) is always like, dislike anyone for something? Well they said the killer was huge fan of Lennon, but then Lennon was changing into this moneyman- or so he thought- so he thought it's best to just shot him."

With that explanation in my head, I continue reading the book. I only had read half of it however, when we got off the plane and she went home with the book (she hadn't finished it too so I didn't borrow it) and I went home with the unfinished story. Just today, about two weeks later, I bought the book.

I always thought the ending would be something nasty and cynical- like the most cynical thing to say about human behavior of all- but I started to doubt it at Mr Antolini's speech. It's actually really good. I mean, it was a wise, nice thing he says. So I figured Holden is just a smart, lonely, labile guy. He's like, a mirror to our darkest day or something (you could just put "or something" by the end of a sentence if you don't want to sound so stupidly serious). He's not heartless or all. He wouldn't go somewhere and shot someone he dislike. I think. I mean he says that he hates some guy for some time, but then he kind of missing them after it. And he can see some good side of people too, although he blabs more about the negative ones.

Anyways, I guess anything can be wrong, eh? I mean, some guy could possibly watched Mickey Mouse House Club and got inspired to shot himself in the head afterwards. It was a good book.
