More Catcher

The 50 pages I just read were pretty boring. It was basically just his date with old Sally and then Holden's drunken depression in the middle of the night. Actually, it was readable around chapter 20 because I wondered how he'd get home and his phone call to Sally was funny. Other than the end, it just seemed like more of the same. More of him calling things phony and talking in detail about his surroundings. 

I realized during Holden's date with old Sally that he is actually out of his mind. Everyone keeps telling me how Holden seems awesome and like this kid who they would love if they knew him, but he just seems creepy to me. He's on a date with a girl he's been friends with, and randomly starts saying that  they should run away together, get married, live in a cabin, and all this other stuff. Then he gets upset when she doesn't want to right away. He's also obsessed with a weird hat and goes out alone late at night to drink scotch and coke by himself. That's a stalker in the making.
