Our class had to read this in 11th grade. Maybe it was the fact we had to read it...but I found it kind of boring. Perhaps if I gave it another read these 4 years later I would appreciate it better. |

Just finished reading it |

A warrior does not give up what he loves, he finds the love in what he does
Only those who attempt the absurd can achieve the impossible.
Holden Caulfield seemed so familiar, so very identifiable at times when I read it years ago. |
|
We should ban 1984 because it incites rebellion against the ruling class. |
|
Everything works out in the end, sometimes even badly.
This is probably what everyone says, but I found Holden eerily familiar, like it was me, but not me. But yeah, great book. |
|
Read it as part of the syllabus a year or so ago. |
|
hmm, I wonder why everyone here and some people in my class felt like they could identify with him but I didnt.... |

Read it again. This time read it because you want to read it. Try to engage with the text. |
