I read the goddam book you gave me. Ya know what I mean. Wuddaya call it. I think it was called 'The Cather in the Rye' or something. It really depressed me. I mean it, I really mean it. I swear to God it did. It really did. It depressed the hell out of me. With all those phony people in it and all.
There were really a bunch of phonies in it, I swear. I swear to God it was. Especially that main character, that Holden Caulfield bastard and all. What a helluva guy. He keeps telling you about everyone. What a helluva phony they were and all. I mean really. He was so phony himself, you know. He didn't see it, though.
But he was a goddam phony himself, to be honest. That killed me, it really did. No kidding.
But about the book. It was also kind of witty, though. I mean with that Phoebe sister of him in it. She was quite a smart kid and all. I mean she was a kid. But she was a smart kid. You could tell her things and she would know what you're talking about. She kills me. She really does. Old Phoebe knows what the hell you're talking about. She really does, I swear to God she does. You should meet her sometime. Boy, would you like her.
She is a helluva smart kid, to be honest. For a kid, though. But she is. I mean really. She really is a helluva smart kid.
And when you tell her something, she will listen. I swear. She really does.
I've read the book ya know, so I can tell you about it. It was quite depressing most of time. I mean with all of those lousy guys and all. Jumping out of the goddam window, for God's Sake.
I mean why should ya jump out of a window. Just because a bunch of lousy phonies started to threaten you or something. When you are at your goddam sleeping room and all.
I mean why the hell would ya. I swear it, nobody could tell you. I wont. No kidding. I really wont.
Nobody wont.
But I got to tell you something, to be honest. You know the part that old Phoepe is telling for like a thousand times 'daddy will kill you' and all? I got really bored as hell when I was reading that part, to be honest. I mean it was really depressing and all. Boy, did it depress me.
But it was a nice book, though.
So thank you and all.
