If a Body Catch a Body

I suppose Catcher in the Rye certainly qualifies as classic literature now, seeing as how teenagers can no longer relate (said with a frustrated sigh) . . .

Get a Life, Holden Caulfield


The article states,

"The culture is also more competitive. These days, teenagers seem more interested in getting into Harvard than in flunking out of Pencey Prep. Young people, with their compulsive text-messaging and hyperactive pop culture metabolism, are more enchanted by wide-eyed, quidditch-playing Harry Potter of Hogwarts than by the smirking manager of Pencey’s fencing team (who was lame enough to lose the team’s equipment on the subway, after all). Today’s pop culture heroes, it seems, are the nerds who conquer the world — like Harry — not the beautiful losers who reject it."


I say to you all, what's wrong with a good smirk now and again???
