Eventhough, we still do

You write in order to change the world, knowing perfectly well that you probably can't, but also knowing that literature is indispensable to the world... The world changes according to the way people see it, and if you alter, even by a millimeter, the way...

People look at reality, then you can change it.

English books: The Catcher in the Rye

Guys (: So happy I'm finally telling you about this astonishing book untitled "The Catcher in the Rye", by Salinger. I'm sure you've heard about it some time in your life, as it's one of the most important books written in the last century.
It talks about this seventeen year-old guy named Holden, who's not very comfortable with people his age. He thinks everyone or mostly everyone is corny and "all that crap". :)
Holden is a special boy, he's got values of his own and likes to follow them. He's been thrown out from five different boarding schools and he's not worried about it. He's got Phoebe, his sister, the only person with whom he likes to talk.
Guess you might have noticed this is not how I usually write a post, using this "expressions" and all. I just wanted you to get to see how the book is written and all. Holden says this "and all" a lot. And all. :)

It's a very interesting book in the one Holden tells us about a week of his life, with nothing very special happening but... You know, his normal kind of week.

I loved it, although at first I didn't like Holden much. Nevertheless, believe me, you'll get to love him in the end.

I'm posting its data:
