I think I can see the significance of the title. We can discuss that on Tuesday. As for the goddam and old I guess the author is just trying to create the way a character talks. We all have things we say a lot and that's it for Holden. He also always say "it kills me" meaning he likes something a lot. This was also written in the 40's so that might explain it too.
I agree with the spelling of the address and I noticed it too Lisa. Since we are a book club we should at least have our name spelled right. ;)
I can see a couple of themes in the book that aren't totally obvious. The english major in me tends to analyze what I read to find a deeper meaning. One thing I like about the book is that it's all taking place over a period of a couple of days with flashbacks thrown in. Most books are drawn out over a long period of time.
