And today's metaphor for my life is...

You're The Catcher in the Rye!

by J.D. Salinger

You are surrounded by phonies, and boy are you sick of them! In an
ongoing struggle to search for a land without phonies, you end up running away from
everything, from school to consequences. In this process, you reveal that many people
in your life have suffered torments and all you really want to do is catch them as
they fall. Perhaps using a baseball mitt. Your biggest fans are infamous
psychotics.

You can't be. Your stories are interesting to listen to.

What!? A teenage boy who doesn't worship Catcher In The Rye!!??

You're a traitor to your kind, sir... guys usually don't realise what a load of self-pitying & yes, boring twaddle that book is until we hit our 20s.

That said ~ I always preferred John Steinbeck & Raymond Carver as far as 20th century American novelists go...

Funny- our english class last term must have been the terrorist headquarters by your logic.
