melany_caballero shared a tip "Honestly everything! I thought the whole book was hilarious, and there were some lines that really killed me. My favorite part is when Holden hires a prostitute, and just winds up talking to her, always seems to stick out to me. That scene is absolutely hysterical, and I feel like that really aptly sums up Holden's character, as someone who desperately wants to form some kind of real human connection but in a way that always seems to repel or confuse people."

charity_9718 shared a tip "This book was apparently on the "to read book list" for high school. I didn't have the opportunity to read it then but much later. I'd be curious to hear what you think. I loved LORD OF THE FLIES. you should give that one a read. TO KILL A MOCKING BIRD is also excellent. She wrote a follow up book to it before she died and I can't think of the title TO CATCH A WATCHMAN something like that. Have fun!"
