- Unfortunately I didn’t save what I was typing on my iPhone last week, so these are largely from memory. Next time I’m going low-tech (you can’t delete a piece of paper...)
- Catcher in the Rye – Universally loved and hated! Holden is an archetypal depressed teen, but fundamentally a nice kind of guy. No-one really liked him, but rather felt sorry for him. Of the several interesting things we talked about the one or two that stand out were
- The red hunting hat, being symbolic of how he sees himself in his role as the catcher, and found it interesting that he gave it to his little sister who ended up ‘catching’ him...
- The other thing was the damn ducks, and what they symbolise. We had various theories, but seriously for the life of me I can’t remember! Please post comments to kick me in the pants!
