Only On Page 18

So, I'm only on page 18 of The Catcher in the Rye by J. D. Salinger, but I am already in love with it. I know that the main character is really whiny and such, but I really like it so far, which is good. Also, I opened to a random page and the first sentence I saw was "Anyway, I kept walking around the room waiting for this prostitute to show up." So, yeah.
