If you really want to hear it,
first thing you’ll want to know is where I was born.
What my lousy childhood was like,
all that David Copperfield kind of crap.
I’m not going into it.
That stuff bores me.
My parents would have two hemorrhages apiece,
if I told anything personal.
Not gonna tell you my whole autobiography,
or anything.
I’m the most terrific liar,
you ever saw in your life.
It’s awful.
I’d go to buy a magazine,
someone asked where I was going
I’d say I’m going to the opera.
Oh!
Forgot to tell you,
I was kicked out of goddam Pencey.

You were kicked out of Pencey Prep??? And I thought you were this model student, math genius, chess club founder, cheer leader, AND founder of the 'support the library' movement!
Well written, M.E.M., but what a disappointment!
It’s a book.not about me personally
I know, M.E.M., maybe I should have warned you. It was meant as a joke, but apparently not a very good one! 🙂
I felt like it was but couldn't really see the signs
