Madame Bovary is like a presupposition of my entire life. I must take care not to become like her.
That’s why reading is important: We can try alternate lives.
This could have been mine if i hadn’t read it.

I know that this is something like a basic book for some people, but here in Hungary it is not, and i highly recommended it for everyone i thought might understand.
However, this is one of my favorite books ever, and i must say, that is a hard choice.
Holden’s “free” days in New York are like an entire life. His thoughts are very close to my heart and his state of life, that feeling of “if i can’t decide which way to go, i’ll try everything” is well-known pain for me.
Pity that there is no good ending, but we must see, if one follows a life like this, there’s no good ending. We must find our ways no matter how hard it might be.
