"My hunting hat gave me quite a lot of protection, in a way, but I got soaked, anyway. I didn't care though. I felt so happy all of a sudden, the way old Phoebe kept going around and around. I was damn near bawling, I felt so damn happy, if you want to know the truth. ...It was just that she looked so nice, the way she kept going around and around, in her blue coat and all."
Every boy I knew loved this book. It was easy to see why, they could relate to Holden. I had nothing in common with him though, nothing relatable at all, but I loved loved loved the book.

I get what you say.
Don't know if i ever told you but my impression of you in your rebellious years at Juventuz was always that you (and your language) were greatly influenced by Holden
Even the part i quoted above bears a resemblance.

I've only read a couple works by Sadeq Hedayat (The Owl
) and then The Neighbours by Mahmoud. So very little...- - - Updated - - -
Iranian/Persian literature... well, novels... What am I missing out on?

I'm not very well read myself but my favorites are "The Little Black Fish" (Samad Behrangi), "Savushun" (Simin Daneshvar), "Her Eyes" (Bozorg Alavi), "Three Drops of Blood" (another Hedayat's work). Also, "Kelidar" is one of the most famous ones.
Well, half of it is.

You're an intelligent woman which is quite rare. I can't believe such quote left a taste for you tbh.

What?Should have read it earlier, but i heard it can be a pain in the ass to get into it
Pynchon's novels Gravity's Rainbow and Against the Day are better.

No. And yes.
I'm renovating my courtyard and it takes so much of my time it's incredible, despite of it being quite small. I had a trillion years old shed as well which got demolished so I'm pretty much working 8-10 hours every day for the past 2 weeks with 1 day off. My arms are pretty much destroyed, I can't even feel fingers So aye... When I finish it I usually go out with my friend for a couple of hours, go home & hit the bed. I feel sick of it already so I can't wait for it to finish so I can hit the books again. But on a positive note I'll finally be able to read outside & drink a coffee if I want to
