The catcher in the Rye (chapter 3)

In this chapter Holden starts saying that he is the most terrific liar we will see in our lives. He probably says this because he wants to confuse us about his real personality. He tells us that when he told old Spencer he was going to the gym to pick up his equipment he lied to him. Holdem decided not to go the game this show that he is not someone who enjoys company. Than he describes two guys that go to Pencey with him one of them is Ackley and Stradlater. He says that no one seems to like Ackley because he doesn't brush his teeth. Stradlater was the opposite he took good care of himself he was more like a lady's man. However he didn't seem to enjoy the company of both of them.
