holden caulfield-posting again because he wasn’t evil and unlikeable, he was a sad, traumatised 16 year old boy dealing with the loss of his brother.

rip Holden Caulfield, you would've loved my tears ricochet by Taylor Swift

ik this probably wont reach anyone but im having a catcher in the rye themed birthday party, and i need help with ideas!

any help of stuff inspired by metaphors and stuff would be greatly appreciated because im not very creative

more holden drawing! I recently finished drawing his new ref and other doodles I drew in traditional (with math)

It's Catcher in the Rye posting hours. I haven't read the book in like 13 years so I might misremember some things.

What has always stood out in my mind ever since reading Catcher in the Rye is when Holden is talking about walking through New York. Specifically about feeling like he could just walk out into the street and disappear and no one would notice. About staring down the streets of New York, one of the busiest cities in the world, and feeling completely alone.

Holden is falling off the cliff at the edge of the rye field. He wants to be the catcher because he is falling off the cliff and no one is there to catch him. He doesn't even realize he's falling off the cliff, but deep down something is telling him to make sure no one else ever feels like he does in that moment. Holden is whiny, selfish, hypocritical, and pretentious. He's also a child. A child in the Rye that is falling off the cliff because the adults who were supposed to be there to catch him aren't, and probably scared him closer to the edge.

before reading the cather in the rye i thought holden would be the unlikeable manipulative protagonist everyone was saying but once I read it i was ??? like he's just some guy leave him alone !!!!!!

WHAT THE SHIT holden is such a sweetie pie..bro is apologizing so much and feeling guilty over the amount of money he donated even when he never had to donate anything...

“The catcher in the rye”

I miss Mindhunter :(

in order to be a tim fan you have to be a tim hater

"All morons hate it when you call them a moron"

make the exorcist fall in love masturbation chapter is one of the most important things in the history of human literature and i'm not joking

My favorite song from Kerplunk it's so good. Also HOLDEN CAULFIELD ☺️☺️☺️

I firmly believe the The Catcher In The Rye is one of Todd Anderson's favourite books because before he met the Poets he could relate so much to how lonely and lost Holden was (not to mention how nd coded they both are) and then post canon he reread it and the parts about Allie hit so much harder than they ever had before, but he no longer felt the same isolation from the rest of humanity that Holden does and taht he used to relate to, but it kind of just makes him more sad because the people that first offered him friendship and community and convinced him taht he had worth and importance are almost all gone again

i have to confess that my dream library is just every single copy of catcher in the rye i can get my hands on

It's always a good time to scream, cry and gouge my eyes out if it's about Holden Caulfield

Lovely to see that someone is enjoying my catcher in the rye craze
