I first discovered this book as a preteen and it really resonated with me on several levels and remains one of my favorite and most treasured books of all time Anyone else feel this way about it or am I the only one? Also, I have a spare copy and want it to go to someone who loves it as much as I do so if anyone loves it and needs a copy let me know.
the Catcher in the Rye anyone?

I need to re-read it.
Have you read "Franny And Zooey" yet or his short stories? It's a bit over the top and very angsty, but I love the scenes and characters so I don't care. I almost get an ASMR effect from reading his descriptions. I save his books for when I'm really feeling the drama.

Yes! I also read it preteen and it was probably my first proper "adult" book. I was so confused as to what at "sonuvabitch" was lmao.
I read his short stories too and really liked them. I haven't read anything by him in ages, though Catcher in the Rye I read once a year for at least 5 years.

I liked the themes and the messages of the novel. Deffo could relate to Caulfield feeling like he was walking through an inauthentic playground ("phony" this and that) but for some reason I couldn't get myself to really get sucked into the story.

Affirmations:
I am worthy of abundance in my life. (Just not in regards to fat on my body okay I want that fat-free female figure.)
Opportunities are always attracted to me and I am always presented with them at the right time.
I am worthy of financial security and financial abundance.
Gave up recovery and the idea of recovering.
I'm not so naiive as to believe that reaching my UGW would be ultimate happiness,
but it is so much easier to be sad and underweight than it is to be fat and depressed.
