Phonies

"It's full of phonies, and all you do is study so that you can learn enough to be smart enough to be able to buy a goddam Cadillac some day, and you have to keep making believe you give a damn if the football team loses, and all you do is talk about girls and liquor and sex all day, and everybody sticks together in these dirty little goddam cliques."- Holden

The problem is that there are so many phonies out there. They play these damn games, you know what I liked about high school...people who didn't like you told you. There was no pretending to like someone. You can be civil doesn't mean you like them. But dont pretend to like people and then bash them. I see it so much now. Everywhere you go..fucking phonies.

That is my favorite piece from the book. That and the end when he starts to realise there are things beyond him he cannot control.

What a great book.
