i plan to read "the catcher in the rye" pero usahay ma bored ko

[balut_man]

catcher in the rye is a perfect christmas read..well if you hate the phoniness of it all. although mas ganahan ko sa nine stories ni j.d. salinger probably because im partial to short stories and i love how the beginning and end is supplemented by your imaginations but nonetheless "catcher in the rye" is a classic, in the very sense of the word.

another suggestion for Catcher in the Rye fans would be "Kafka on the Shore" by Haruki Murakami. the plot is somewhat at par although less angsty and more melancholic...

i was too engrossed reading it that i didn't notice i was smiling, laughing, and the stranger beside me got curious and bravely asked, "what are you reading miss? " love the book!

weeee..

I'm a big Catcher in the Rye fan. I love the way it was written. It was so raw and true.
Moving kaayo siya. I was so excited pagkakita nako ani na thread. weeeeeee.
I hope no one would EVER make this into a highly-commercialized Hollywood movie.

I have a poem for Allie na ang persona kay si Holden Caulfield trying to be Charles Bukowski (a poet).

hehe..

Allie

Allie, they have not seen you,
with your ball of bright red hair, tousled
by the wind. They should have. Seen that,
I mean. Not how leukemia left you
after eating your laughter away
and snatched you far off, with the angels.

I'm sorry Allie, when they left you there cold.
Lying down six feet,
with only withered flowers to play with and cold,
deathly crosses to whisper giggles to.

I hate knowing you're there, Allie.
Embraced by the earth, with dead guys for company,
and tombstones, in that cold and lonely place,
with frozen angels, and some damp gravel.
It kills me,
seeing you there.

I hate it more though, when I visit you, and it rains.
The sky wails and cries all over these phony people,
the sky cries, and everybody goes
rushing back for cover, to their cars.
Everybody, Allie.
Every
single
one
of them,
but you.

I know it’s just your body. I know.
Mom said your soul’s up in heaven
with the singing angels, and
all that crap.
But I just goddam wish you weren’t there.

I know too,
that all these phony people
wouldn’t understand. But they don’t know you, Allie,
they don’t know you like I do.
They have only seen you with your bright red hair
Off to a place where the winds cannot touch.

If they would’ve known,
If only they’d seen you before that,
they would know you do not belong
to the dirty, damp earth.

They would know, Allie.
I swear to any god they would.
