Was really in the mood for some good books today so a few friends and I decided to venture into Idaho Falls at a used book store. And it felt so good. I haven't read a book just for fun since I've been at school, and now that the semester is almost at an end, I'm finding a little bit more time to do things other than school work.
I picked up a classic read: Catcher in the Rye. I read it in junior high and loved it, so I kind of want to read it again. Normally I never read books twice (for some reason I can't explain), but this book is an exception. I also picked up this book called The Road Less Traveled; all about spiritual growth in an age of anxiety. I've read a few pages so far and its pretty enlightening.
note to self: so it's a saturday night, and really i only feel like snuggling in a quilt and reading on the couch. maybe watch a couple of christmas movies. Holden Caulfield here I come.
Catcher in the Rye is definitely worth reading many times.
ReplyDeletecatcher in the rye is on my list of must reads! cannot wait for the semester to finally end so i can get going on that list of mine.
ReplyDeleteAll those books are so pretty! I hope you scrap that photo :)
ReplyDeletewe get asked a lot if Holden is named after Catcher in the Rye... I've never read the book... looks like I should! Cannot wait to see you soon!
ReplyDeletethese images are beautiful! and i remember having assigned readings in junior high but my table was given to kill a mockingbird. i'll have to give this one a read though because i've heard really good things!

ReplyDeleteI so know this feeling dude. When you want to read something of your choosing. It was my main focus upon graduating and this past summer when I was working and not in classes. I frequented my local library like a woman possessed reading and reading. The Hunger Games started my reading craze in April then in May I read Fifty Shades of Grey (and I REALLY wish I had not done that to myself) then I read Divergent and its sequel Insurgent (crazy good books) then I read Incarnate and Drift!! And so many others. I was a reading freak but I loved it so much. To sit down with a coffee and read a compelling story. Theres nothing else like it.
