Catcher in the Rye: Part 3

120 pages in... It is too far to turn back. I'm hoping I can survive the few days I have left in this barren wasteland of a novel. My only hope for survival is to ration my resources...

• Holden asked his third cabby if they knew where the ducks went.
• He went to a nightclub and met his brothers old girlfriend.
• Then he went to a hotel and almost slept with a prostitute, but got beaten up instead.
• He gave some nuns a few bucks.
• And now he is in the process of meeting up with a girl named Sally.

In this section it started to become apparent that Salinger has a very straightforward writing style that has little to no descriptive adjectives. You'll be reading it, and thinking that nothing has happened, then all of a sudden you have to give a brief summary to someone and you're like, "Whoa, s*** went down in this section yo!" But really nothing super important has happened yet and probably never will... Another author who has an extremely straightforward writing style is Hemingway.

I mostly connected with the part where Holden saw his brothers ex. I connected because I have definitely done that thing where if someone asks you to sit with them you pretend like you're leaving to avoid awkward conversation.

I'm hoping my last 94 pages won't kill me. If I don't post back soon, assume the worst.
