@torunn saidYes he would. He used to like to play Fisher Random chess where the pieces are placed randomly on the back row. He asked me if I would like a game but I told him its not my thing.

@shallow-blue saidWell, now you do. I sincerely doubt that @torunn is an adolescent.
So do many adolescents. I don't know a single adult who does.

@torunn saidHolden's an adolescent's idea of a cool person. Liking the book because of how it portrays a certain kind of failed youth is one thing, liking the character itself is quite another.
I could be his grandmother. I love him and Salinger. It was once suggested a film be made of the book and Salinger said no - 'Holden wouldn't like that'.

@shallow-blue saidHe was difficult to like, that was his problem, he made a mess of things and was expelled from school. I guess today we might have suspected ADHD. I still like him because of his love of children, especially his sister.
