Also- Holden Caulfield is way to low-key to be a rascal.
Yeah. And he's pretty much mid-breakdown. He's really more flailing wildly than stiring up mischeif.

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Who's Ramona Quimby? Which pic is she?

Shit's all sorts of different now.
The very first one. She's a character created by Beverly Clearly. She's a great character. I think a lot of little girls felt like Ramona could have been written about them. I know I did.

Her wikipedia entry fails to convey the charm she must have to make the list.
Wait, no, Holden's not charming. It fails to convey the charm that would make you identify with her.

Yeah, it does.

You must find an interview with Cleary. Ramona was very dear to me, and I love Cleary for creating her. She really speaks kid. That wiki is very... dry. Doesn't convey Ramonaness.

Yeah, that wiki does not at all tell what Ramona's about.

And didn't (a VERY young, pre Baron Munchausen) Sarah Polley play Ramona in a TV series? Or was that a different Ramona?
