Putting Off These Readin Responses

Catcher in the Rye got to me. Somewhat in a way that I don't like. Sometimes I realize I shouldn't be the way I am. Yet, this is how I am, who I am, and always will be. It's kind of aggravating in a way. I don't take criticism or suggested improvement well.

"This fall I think you're riding for - it's a special kind of fall, a horrible kind.  The man falling isn't permitted to feel or hear himself hit bottom.  He just keeps falling and falling.  The whole arrangement's designed for men who, at some time or other in their lives, were looking for something their own environment couldn't supply them with.  Or they thought their own environment couldn't supply them with.  So they gave up looking.  They gave it up before they ever really even got started."
