This has got to be the most self-absorbed, annoying little fucker in literature. This is literally him the whole story: 
 This book is a classic, I accept that. What I don't accept is people in despair melodramatically angst-festing about Holden and how they can relate to him so much. The kid is so annoying. Not a fan. 
 I even read it when I was a teenager and was also quite angsty/ annoying at the time and was STILL eye-rolling at him.
