"The Catcher in the Rye" ("Kuristik rukkis") Salinger - Book report/review
Holden refuses, deciding not to go anyway in the end. Instead, Holden takes his sister
to the zoo and watches her ride a carousel.
The book ends with words "Don't ever tell anybody anything. If you do, you start
missing everybody," which is, in my opinion, also very thought provoking.
