The Catcher in the Rye. Chapters 7-12

I still like this book A LOT better than The Odyssey, mostly because it's much easier to read and understand. Holden has a lot of weird "mood swings", I guess. Like how he didn't want to talk to anybody and then he was up so late and just wanted to call somebody. I can't believe he called some random girl he didn't even know. And if I were that girl, I'd be so mad at him. Another thing that really bugs me is that he still hasn't called Jane. Why is he so fast to call the girl he doesn't even know, but scared to call Jane, who I understand to be a close friend. Holden is kind of a sketchy character, but maybe I just need to get to know him better. I want to keep reading, but I must restrain myself and go work on my novel. :)

  1. He is kinda sketchy. I actually feel like in a way, the reader knows his emotions better than he does himself.
