The fact that Holden is always depressed in J.D. Salinger's the Catcher in the Rye sort of made me depressed, yet thankful for my gifts. Even though he repeats things twice, the second time with "I mean..." or "you really have to be in the mood for...", portrays the personality that J.D. Salinger gave him. I respect this read, because personally I enjoy reading books based on time periods based on history, so this left me wanting more.
