Holden can't sleep. He's lying in Ackley's stinky room, torturing himself thinking about Jane and Stradlater in that car. So he does the only logical thing—packs his bags, sells his typewriter for a fraction of what it's worth, and screams "Sleep tight, ya morons!" down the hallway before disappearing into the night. He's 16 and heading to a hotel in New York City alone.Banned Camp is a comedy podcast where we read banned books chapter by chapter—we don't read ahead, so you're discovering the story with us.Things To Listen For:Holden telling Ackley he got in a fight "defending your honor" (Ackley believed it for a second)The description of Stradlater's "technique" with girls—and why it made Holden so worried about JaneHolden asking Ackley about joining a monastery at 2amJennifer admitting she'd steal Stradlater's wallet on the way outThe exit line: "Sleep tight, ya morons!"Why was The Catcher in the Rye banned? This chapter has a teenager running away from school in the middle of the night, references to "giving girls the time," and a kid who's clearly struggling with depression and loneliness.
