God, those angst-filled days of being fourteen, generally annoying, and ~so Holden Caulfield~. Re-reading it at sixteen was a whole new experience where I fully embraced its irony, biting sarcasm, and general snark. I don't think Caulfield's depressed, as per se. Sometimes he seems completely detached from the world in an almost existential funk... ONE OF MY FAVOURITE BOOKS OF ALL TIME.

I'll post in the forum when I'm finished. Depression might fight Holden. There are many different types of depression and I do believe that random thought processes falls into a certain spectrum. I'll get back to you when I'm finished but yes, Holden does have some mental instability. If you like this novel, do read some other J.D. Salinger. His short story, Teddy kind of reminds me of Holden. I am currently reading The Catcher in the Rye so anything I’m going say is from grade 12. I’ll post in the forum when I’m finished.
