Read: Sunday 18th and Monday 19th July. This is the 13th book I've read since starting.
Review: It's hard to review a book you've heard so many people talk about. I liked it, I mean I really liked it. It killed me, if you know what I mean. I found that I could empathise with the narrator, Holden, and his feelings of depression and dissatisfaction. The actual story as written takes place over about three days, but a lot that happens before then is cleverly woven in. Although in some ways this is a very sad book it has brief glimpses of brightness. I very much enjoyed it. It was easy to read, too. But I'm finding it hard to write a review that its protagonist would not consider 'phony'!
Time: I guess this was about two days. In between, we went to church, climbed Roseberry Topping (photos to come) and had a most pleasant day out in Whitby.
