What really knocks me out, is a book, when you're all done reading it, you wished 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.
Holden Caulfield, Catcher in the Rye
Much like my affinity for re-watching movies I also love to re-read books. The most re-read book of mine is Catcher in the Rye. For some reason I have a strange connection to it. I read it almost yearly around Christmas time. Every year that Holden Caulfield and I meet it is different experience. Although he is always the same in the book, my perception of him and the book changes depending on where I am at. On my old blackberry I used to have "note" filled with my favorite Holden quotes. J.D. Salinger shall forever be remembered by me in my well loved old copy of Cather in the Rye, originally my Mom's book from high school. This year I picked up the book just after Christmas, around when Lyndsy was reading it and I never go that to into. But this week I plan to pick it back up and see where Holden and I stand these days.Holden Caulfield, Catcher in the Rye
My well loved copy.
And my outfit. Rodarte Cardigan, Anthro skirt and Twelfth Street Cynthia Vincent wedges.
Check out the steal on this Dolce Vita skirt!
That's the nice thing about carousels, they always play the same songs.Holden Caulfield, Catcher in the Rye
Awww, love this! Catcher in the Rye is also one of my favorites, I even named my son Holden :) I was so sad to hear about Salinger's passing, but he will live through his words and characters forever!
