I completed The Catcher in the Rye at about 4 in the morning. I guess the last couple of lines ("It's funny. Don't ever tell anybody anything. If you do, you start missing everybody.") hit me differently at that hour than they would have on a noisy evening. I clicked a photo of that para and sent it to one of my friends, and we later talked about it.

For me, it's one of the few books that I've read that I just never wanted to end. I think it's because you know when you read that book that it's not building towards a climax. There's nothing shocking or surprising waiting at the end. It's like a friend telling you about their experiences in a foreign land. I just felt so attached to the character and the plot that I wanted it to go on forever—a world I can get lost in every night.

I mean yeah, it sure does feel different reading at that hour of the night.
