I told him I wasn't going to chuck it at anybody, but he wouldn't believe me. People never believe you. Brossard and Ackley both had seen the picture that was playing, so all we did, we just had a couple of hamburgers and played the pinball machine for a little while, then took the bus back to Pencey. I didn't care about not seeing the movie, anyway. It was supposed to be a comedy, with Cary Grant in it, and all that crap. Besides, I'd been to the movies with Brossard and Ackley before. They both laughed like hyenas at stuff that wasn't even funny. I didn't even enjoy sitting next to them in the movies. It was only about a quarter to nine when we got back to the dorm.

A true classic, but not one I reread often.

Very boring novel. Hard to stay awake reading... but the writing style is amazing, there was good symbolism and the characters come alive. I would not recommend this book to anyone and I will not be reading this again.

this Abraham Lincoln, sincere voice, and finally there'd be this terrific silence in the back of the car. It was really embarrassing. I don't think he gave that girl the time that night-but damn near. Damn near. While I was laying there trying not to think, I heard old Stradlater come back from the can and go in our room.
