A book post! Sigh. I adored CITR. Most likely bc I read it late, full into the swing of my goth sensibilites. Oh, Joey. A book post! Sigh. I adored CITR.

Way, way too emo for me even in angsty early teen-hood. Informed the teacher I would gladly accept a zero on the assignment in exchange for not having to pollute my brain with such overwrought nonsense.

I couldn't stand him then, and reading the opening paragraph now instantly reminded me why. I NEVER got the attraction. *shrug* Garnigal, I had the same reaction, and yet I read it in a non-uniformed 11-th grade class.

I didn't read it until I was 25 - which is a terrible age to read it. Hated it with a deep and abiding passion. I couldn't deal with Holden's emo wankfest.

I don't think I read anything between reading Catcher in the Rye sometime in high school and reading a Coupland book in university. And I went to a private high school avec uniforms.
