Feb 12, 2012 - This book brought realizations and truths to millions of struggling teenagers. Teenagers who were and are still just looking for someone to answer their questions.

Mar 19, 2012 - Catcher in the Rye is one of my favorite books, not just because I was named after Holden's sister but also because every time I read it I get something new from it. My copy is the red one with the yellow letters and it's falling apart. It's completely covered in scotch tape and practically disintegrating. I can't seem to bring myself to buy a new one though because I was named after that specific copy.

Mar 21, 2012 - Because of this video I got today's Final Jeopardy question right. God I love this video.

Mar 28, 2012 - This guy kind of pisses me off. I mean JD Salinger. he was really selfish. People really like his book and all he did was ignore them . And now that he's dead, this book can never be made into a movie because he had that in his will, and there's no audio tapes just because this guy was a scared pussy. It sucks that he started living like a freaking hermit. I really wonder what made him want to live like that. What a freaking weirdo. great book, but what a waste that the author was like that.

LuneFromage Says:

Apr 2, 2012 - When I was younger, and I first read this book, I dreamed of being a Catcher in the Rye too. But sometimes I feel like someone who is handcuffed and forced to watch as children fall off the cliff.

COMAFAVOS Says:

Apr 3, 2012 - (((()))) an unpretentious bouquet of parentheses to Salinger.

Apr 12, 2012 - This made me want to cry. Especially the "It wasn't crazy" part. So beautifully read, and with such feeling. 

beffwithanf Says:

Apr 16, 2012 - Judging someone by their actions when you don't know the person is a bit like playing near a cliff.Inadvisable.

Yazoo How Ood McFadden Says:

Apr 21, 2012 - JOHNSPOILER ALERTS, PLEASEYOU SPOILED ME ON GATSBY TONIGHT, AND NOW YOU'RE SPOILING ME ON CATCHER IN THE RYE, BOTH OF WHICH I STARTED TWO DAYS AGOUGH

ThursdayTheNext Says:

May 2, 2012 - Really... get over it.

MirandaEvalyne Says:

May 3, 2012 - I feel like every copy of Catcher in the Rye that I have ever seen has always been torn or ripped... including my own...

strippeddowndignity Says:

May 4, 2012 - That reminds me of another author. He goes by the name Peter van Houten.

walldawgz Says:

May 23, 2012 - but like, this video is two years old and i still come back and watch it every now and then because of the perfection. this is legit my favorite passage in literature read by my favorite author that is currently alive. how do you get better than that?
