J. D. Salinger, Holden’s « father », died today … Read about him !

The Catcher in the Rye is one of the most appreciated books by the teenagers of all times . Please, enjoy this wonderful key passage from the Catcher …

 

« I keep picturing all these
little kids playing some game in this big field of rye and all. Thousands of little kids, and nobody’s
around – nobody big, I mean – except me. And I’m standing on the edge of some
crazy cliff. What I have to do, I have to catch
everybody if they start to go over the cliff – I mean if they’re running and they don’t
look where they’re going I have to come out from somewhere and catch
them. That’s all I do all day I’d just be the
catcher in the rye and all. I know it’s crazy, but that’s the only
thing I’d really like to be. I know it’s crazy. »
