Catcher In The Rye

Holden Caulfield is teen angst bull-crap with a pickax. He's sarcastic,
nasty, and completely unlikeable. He also doesn't give a crap. He is every
teenager caught between the crapy little games of high school ("you're
supposed to kill yourself if the football team loses or something") and
the fear of adulthood ("going to get an office job and make a lot of money
like the rest of the phonies").

The greatness in Holden Caulfield is that what he has to say is better
than a million Celestine Prophecies or anything said by Jonathan
Livingston Seagull (save for the squawks after you shoot him) or Jesus
(save for the apocryphal "hey Peter I can see your house from here"). 
Holden Caulfield says that life sucks, everyone is a phony, and you'll be
inevitably disappointed by everyone that you hold in awe. If you think
that this sounds awful, ask yourself one question. When was the last time
you found any joy in watching Barney or the Care Bears?

making dead-on observations that completely shoot the kneecaps out from
under the terminally self-righteous. When a successful mortician tells the
school to follow his example and pray
