"'Maybe he didn't really encourage me to do things, but he didn't prevent me from doing them either. But after a while, I didn't do things because I didn't want him to think different about me. But the thing is, I wasn't being honest. So, why would I care whether or not he loved me when he didn't really even know me?"'
Yes, I read this book for the first time, at age 29. But I loved it regardless (I'm a huge Salinger fan). And I knew I loved Sam from the first chapter she was mentioned...I felt like I could relate to her in some way, more than I could with Charlie (can't really hate the guy either, though you wish you could tell him to stop crying or give him a hug).
I will also be on the lookout for a copy of Fountainhead as that is the only book mentioned in this novel that I haven't read.
