the catcher in the rye

i've started reading it again. the first time i read it was when i was about 14. it was a very hard book to put down. holden talked about novels and authors that he liked, that he liked some books so much he wished the author was his friend-someone he could pick up the phone and call. i wouldn't mind calling j.d. salinger.

"...Anyway, I keep picturing all these little kids playing some game in this big field ot 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'd 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."Holden in chapter 22. Here Holden tells Phoebe the basic theme of the novel.
