The only part of the book I can remember is that Holden Caufield is sitting on a stoop or stairs somewhere and he sees some graffiti that someone wrote...
it says "fuck you" or something to that effect. And then Caufield sort of thinks to himself that no matter where on Earth you go in this life someone has written "fuck you" on something. That is the only part I have carried with me.
