The Catcher in the Rye by JD Salinger

I wasn't going to read another book I'd already read; but, I saw Holden in his backward, red hunting cap and couldn't resist a visit with one of my favorite fictional characters. Holden's wry and often cynical commentary of the world around him, as experienced in a few short days after being kicked out of school, is honest and even charming. He's the most honest self-proclaimed liar I've ever had the pleasure to know. To steal some of Holden's thunder, this book "kills me. It really does."
