Holden Caulfield has ASD and matter how many times I read the book over I will never be convinced otherwise.

“I am always saying "Glad to've met you" to somebody I'm not at all glad I met. If you want to stay alive, you have to say that stuff, though.”

Been difficult to write my review for this one - it’s perfection! I’m in a way glad I read it now and not before, what with it being so famous and popular. I picked this up because I thought it was high time I read this classic, and boy was I right. The amount of skepticism and exaggeration is not at all overwhelming, it is rather on point. I feel that there might have been an undertone of irritation in his writing, but it feels as though that itself drove him to write. 

Picking quotes from the book for this blog was difficult and just two quotes do not do justice. The sarcasm reeks out of the pages and it is just grand (yes, I did just make up a whole sentence so I could use the word ‘grand’). I thoroughly enjoyed this read, finished it in a couple of days. I honestly want to pick the book up again in a few years and re read this gorgeous, simple masterpiece. Any review will never be enough to appreciate the beauty of this one, you have to sit down for a couple of hours and just loose yourself in the candid narration.

“What really knocks me out is a book that, when you're all done reading it, you wish the author that wrote it was a terrific friend of yours and you could call him up on the phone whenever you felt like it. That doesn't happen much, though.”

Matt Murdock x Holden Caulfield aesthetic 

“I can’t explain what I mean. And even if I could, I’m not sure I’d feel like it.” 

AU where when Holden goes to New York, he meets Matt and they form a father/son relationship. These two would hit it off if they were to ever meet. They’re kind of similar, and I feel like both would be able to relate to one another. Chemistry like a firecracker.

It's that time ⏰🕰⌛️ again!! Our #staffpick today is from Ray (@local_snail_mail_enthusiast) on the main floor 🐌📩. They highly recommend Chocolates for Breakfast by Pamela Moore. 🍫🍫🍫🍫 "Hailed as the sexier, more controversial marriage of The Bell Jar and The Catcher in the Rye, Chocolates For Breakfast grapples with what it means to find enchantment in your life. Moore, only 18 years old when she wrote the novel, speaks to an intergenerational truth about the irreplaceable magic and melodrama of being young, naive, and confused. Perfect for anyone who’s ever wished for more bisexual representation in literature, tried to navigate the world of sex, drugs, and alcohol as a teenager, or had to explain “the difference” between Los Angeles and New York." •• #staffpickfriday #bookrecommendation #thebelljar #catcherintherye (at Strand Book Store)

I don’t exactly know what I mean by that, but I mean it.
