RE: Ask Steemit: What is one book that you recommend everyone should read? - 有哪一本书你建议所有的人应该读的？
The Catcher in the Rye by JD Salinger
Why I recommend you read it? Its a coming of age novel about Holden Caulfield who's sarcastic, sensitive nature shows a learning curve for the future.
The book potrays rejection and powerlessness that Holden feels throughout the story. He wants to get close to people yet keeps getting pushed away. Alienated from his friends, kicked out from his school.It comes down to a point when: He pays a prostitute to talk to him, and nothing else. After she leaves he is confronted by the pimp for not paying, and gets beaten up.
It got me through a hard time in life. His metaphorhical symbolism: "Where do the ducks, go when its winter". Still resounds about where will we end up after seasons come and go.
This book resounds across millions of people in the world. And I hope it will for you, too.
That sounds really interesting. Thanks for the recommendation and description about the book.
You are welcome mate! :))
Never read this actually, was banned during my school years. Didn't have the urge to pick it up though now that you've jogged interest...
