Because he knows what absolutely shit Cather in the Rye is, was stunned it was so popular and didn't want to have to keep writing and reveal himself for the talentless hack piece of shit author he truly is. Even though it's in my top three favorite novels, this is probably pretty accurate.

No, it just appeals to idiots who recognize their own kind.

What a boring fucking book that was, and we spent like three weeks talking about it and dissecting every waking moment of the book and the movie in class.

I wouldn't let him write my name down after a traffic accident. Born in California to a Swedish mother and an American father, where John David's parents were working for a traveling circus company, John David was named after the state in which he was born. John David's writing career started as a freelance travel writer for several international magazines, as well as several short film scripts. The former gravedigger and Ironman triathlete has been captivated by the story of Mr.C for years. After finding a well-travelled copy of The Catcher in the Rye in an abandoned cabin in rural Cambodia, the iconic characters within saw John through the most maniacal of tropical fevers and chronic isolation. Years later he was finally able to return the favour, holding the fate of Mr.C in his inspired hands with 60 Years Later: Coming through the Rye. I don't remember a state named John

I've never felt passionately about it, but I liked it when I read it as a teen and liked it again when I read it in my early 20s. But something tells me I wouldn't like it now, so I'm gonna avoid the re-read.

I don't tend to like stories if I hate the main character. X I think it's more about relatability then understanding it. If you can relate to the character at lest a little bit you'll like it, if you can't then you won't. I couldn't relate.
