<< Oleander - Why I'm Here >>

Great song I haven't read the book for 3 or 4 years, but I think that would work out...

 

[Josh]

It is definatly worth the time.

How about "Sounds of Silence", by Simon and Garfunkel? Probably not the best example, but it was the first thing that came to my mind thinking about Holden. What a loser....


edit: Maybe even "Mrs. Robinson", now that I remember that it was the theme song for 'The Graduate'. Kinda reminded me of Holden's story.

[Josh]

I always used to use I Did It My Way the old Sinatra standard. It can be easily manipulated to suit pretty much any situation.
