catcher in the dfw

so i'm just sitting in DFW killing time waiting to go home.  my flight outta jackson was on time - even early getting in to dallas, and it looks like my final flight home will be a-ok.  truly, a minor miracle.
 
anyway, i finished reading 'the catcher in the rye' a couple days ago on my flight out to vicksburg.  not totally sure whether i liked that book or not...  i mean, i never really struggled to get through it - but i wasn't really dying to turn the pages either.  and then you're getting toward the end and the tension keeps on building, but then the book takes a right turn and just dumps you.  huh.  but i guess i can appreciate the theme of confusion throughout the book.  a longing for more.  or maybe just a longing for something different.  but sometimes a longing for more, sometimes a longing for different, sometimes a distaste for everything that surrounds me and the constraints of american society and human nature.  that's the story of my life.  huh.  maybe i liked that book after all.  not so much in the actual words written down on the page, but more so in retrospect of the overarching themes covered.  wow - i totally wasn't expecting that.
