8. The Book

The end scene.

You see, this is the last book I finished reading past week. I'd been reading it for more than 2 weeks because it was very difficult to read about all these mishaps that haunt the main hero, Holden, during his straying among buildings of New York. He wanders along its streets, like in a desert; he is so close to his home, but he is desperately homeless. Every injustice makes him suffer, and causes a storm in his soul. He is very irritable and he can involuntarily hurt the others. He is a kind of ethical tuning-fork for the author...

And for me... My sister, who'd adviced me to read it, said that I'd better read it now because later I just wouldn't understand it. And by the end of my reading I realised why. At that moment main hero explains what he wants doing in his life. He wants saving children, playing in the rye, from plunging over the cliff into the abyss, from the cruelties of the adult world. Now I'm by myself stay on the edge of the new life, but now I'm more confident about it because this book and its heroes will serve me like a compass in the ocean of passions, intrigues, and hypocrisy, that is espcially necessary right now.

Thank you for reading the post about my reading)
