Probably because its a book about a self absorbed teenager and most psychopaths have the mentality of a self absorbed 14 year old and have 0 capacity to put themselves in the shoes of another.
you never read the book dumb Black person. If you did you would realise it's actually the opposite. People can't put themselves(or don't have the mental capacity) in the shoes of a traumatized, abused 14 year old so they call the book shit.
Dumb c**t go read something that's not fricking game of thrones

His brother, which he loved very much, died when Holden was still young. It's said in chapter 1 and it's a current theme through all the book.

And in chapter two he gets invited to his history teacher who appears to be ready to make him write something reasonable in place of his stupid ass essay on account of his immense privilege, so that he doesn't have to be expelled after all and he bullshits his way out.

FFS try to reread it. It's so inconsistent that it isn't clear if allie actually lived in the first place. He's a moron.

Are you? How wrong in your head do you have to be to not notice that there isn't something quite right with what he says? Can you only read individual sentences? They don't follow a normal train of thought. The times, dates, people's ages range from improbable to impossible. His observation of everything and everyone is entirely superficial and inane. >all that David Copperfield kind of crap
What could be so David Copperfield about his childhood?
He writes it from some kind of institution on the opposite side of the country.
The add, it seems it could be some kind of visual metaphor, and an euphism.
People do treat him moronic. Why would anyone not move checker kings? More likely she does it to handicap herself when she plays with moron Holden. Or that elevator boy. He doesn't know him, and won't let him in, but probably realizes it's that stupid Holden once he gives his nonsensical excuse.

Your theory of "Allie isn't dead" is more moronic than the "He rapes his sister, Phoebe" theory.
From now on, I will write on every single Catcher in the Rye post "He rapes his sister, Phoebe. And Allie never died."

She is obviously much more mature than him. The plot of the movie she tells him about goes over his head.

They don't, they're just copying the earlier killers, who themselves got accidentally trolled into adopting Catcher in the Rye as a sort of psychopath's signature literature, like a calling card, because the first one didn't care about the book or even read it; he just arbitrarily happened to accidentally have a copy on his person when they got him.
>tl;dr: The catcher in the Rye is a sort of knowing "wink & nudge" calling card, a literal meme for killers
I think so too. Salinger just hit the nail on the head. They have always been like that.
It isn't meant to be read that way though, it's supposed to be a book about a moron and the beautiful society which refuses to give up on him.
Are books like Catcher even deep enough to pull bigger meaning out of it? I read it a long time ago and liked it I guess. Would be it worth reading as a 44 year old? I am sort of wondering why people like these types of books. Similar to Stoner what was the point? Constant acceptance of failure?
Books like Anna Karenina or Crime and Punishment give me more of a magical, deep thoughts that I frame into my life and learn lessons.
Well you see it is because- wait a minute. Nice try FBI. I have no idea why they do.

You are supposed to realize he's a moron and has no idea what he's talking about. He doesn't even know what the word "phony" means.
Right but idiot psychopaths don't have that realization.

leave britnery spears ari lone right NAUUUUUU
He rapes his sister, Phoebe. And Allie never died.
Also, I think it's kind of implied that they took her to that movie exactly because her brother is that hopelessly moronic.
the phonies are people who swore an oath and joined the government to keep everyone else in slavery

It's a story about a moron, described from the point of view of the moron. I think it's a completely unique book.
It just hits different to the alienated and disturbed mind. It’s a flawless work of genius anyway. You simply wouldn’t get it.
