In which John discusses the first fifteen chapters of J. D. Salinger's "The Catcher in the Rye." Sorry it's late! (Lots of travel.)

p.s. It's hard to say anything interesting about a book in four minutes.
p.p.s. YOUTUBE ADDED THE EXTRA SECOND.

  • HEY GUYS this video is more than 4 minutes and no punishment! wtf!

  • He loved that book so much. That killed me.

  • I really don't like Catcher in the Rye. reading it made me feel angry and anxious. I couldn't even finish it without wanting to throw it across the room

  • I bet by reading this he wants to kill john lennon... But he finds out he is already dead... He even looks similar to butters scotch... If you watch south park then you know what i mean...

  • I read this for my AP Lit class a few weeks ago, and thanks to you, John, I didn't hate it, and I managed to make the other people in my discussion group not hate it too :-) Thank you.

  • J.D Salinger described my soul.

  • He points at the doobiliy doo at the side instead of the bottom. Who knows, maybe youtube will change again and put the doobility doo back in the side of the video again.

  • It was a pretty boring book from what I remember.

  • Congrats. You succeeded in convincing me to reread a book I thought I hated, and to think about it more and hate it less...despite the misogyny, which is definitely there.

    The misogyny is kind of everywhere. He not only implies that most girls are dumb, deliberately confusing, and lack control, but his entire story argues that they need a man's protection from the world and other men or else they will be irrevocably corrupted, broken sad things deserving only of pity. *restrains-urge-to-smack*

  • Did he just say Frakkin'? I don't know anymore, there is just too much awesome in these videos compared with a world full of suck that I may be imagining things.
