Marami na akong nabasang libro ni Hemingway kasi gusto ko ang pagiging simple ng kanyang istilo sa pagsusulat. Nagulat ako na ang napabilang dito ay ang Fiesta: The Sun Also Rises kasi mas kilala sa libro niya ang Farewell to Arms o yung For Whom the Bell Tolls o yung The Old Man and the Sea.
Gusto ko ang To Kill a Mockingbird ni Harper Lee, ang mga gawa ni Virginia Woolf. Gusto ko ang character ni Benjy sa The Sound and the Fury, magandang halimbawa din ang librong ito ng SOC. Ang Lord of the Flies naman ay kailangan mong hanapin kung sino sa mga karakter doon ang id, ego, o superego.
Binasa ko lahat ng series ng Narnia ni C.S. Lewis pero humanga ako sa kanya sa libro niyang The Screwtape Letters.
Gusto ko ang Animal Farm ni George Orwell at sino ba naman ang makakalimot kay Big Brother ng 1984?
Ang daming hindi ko pa nababasa sa listahan, yung iba naman ibang libro ng author na nabanggit ang nabasa ko.

Tama ka!
Yun ang librong hawak niya.
Ano kaya ang naging kontribusyon ng librong ito sa pagpatay niya kay John Lennon?

for me.. holden caulfield (main character) is an immature individual na ayaw mag-grow-up... a rebellious youth na galit sa lahat ng bagay... sa lahat ng taong nakakasalamuha nya, lalo na sa "phony persons"...
siguro he (mark david chapman) thinks that JOHN LENNON was one of those phony persons... na lumalason sa kaisipan ng mga inosenteng kabataan... & mark wanted to be like holden, "the cather in the rye"
quoted:
"'Anyway, I keep picturing all these little kids playing some game in this big field of rye and all. Thousands of little kids, and nobody's around - nobody big, I mean - except me. And I'm standing on the edge of some crazy cliff. What I have to do, I have to catch everybody if they start to go over the cliff - I mean if they're running and they don't look where they're going I have to come out from somewhere and catch them. That's all I'd do all day. I'd just be the catcher in the rye and all." HOLDEN CAULFIELD Chapter 22, pg. 173 (Catcher In The Rye)

"I’m sure the large part of me is Holden Caulfield, who is the main person in the book. The small part of me must be the Devil." - Chapman's statement to police three hours after he shot John
