Why are there so many fucking idiots on this board? I don't care about your political leanings, but if your arguments are just summed up to ad hominem and misportrayed facts then shut up and read more.

To answer the Op's post, catcher in the rye kinda works as it is a smug young man finally becoming humble in the end. You also have the adventures of huckleberry finn where he travels with jim.

Life just keeps getting weirder and i don't like it

As you get older you'll come to find people are stupider than you thought they would be. The more we try to sugar-coat or bubble wrap the world, the more complacent and foolish we will become.

I bought the first 2 books of the "fifty shades of grey" trilogy 3 years ago because I read on the internet that they were good.
I read the first one and then started the second one when I realised that I've made a huge mistake.
I still get a deep feeling of regret whenever I see those two books.
I put them inside a box under the stairs and still don't know what to do with them.
