In the book The Catcher In The Rye the main character Holden has been one of my favorite book characters in a while. Holden is more of a laid back i don't really care about it guy. He has dropped out of three or four colleges now and most likely won't be going to a fifth. His parents don't know that he recently failed Pencey college so before they got the news he decided to got to New York to get away from everyone. He was supposed to be sent home on Wednesday to go home but decided that he didn't want to wait until Wednesday so he left. But as he's leaving the only thing that has been on his mind is one person, a girl named Jane Gallagher. She's one of his childhood friends who was very close. They would hang out daily and play games, go to movies and were basically best friends. But now he's sorta in a rut so to speak. He's going around New York to the local bars trying to fix his depression. He's trying to find people to dance or hang out with, but also seeing these "morons" from his past. He's paying for prostitutes to talk to him instead of having sex with him. Holden is a very cool and peculiar character. I can't wait to read the rest of this book.
