Hee hee great site Ian! I think it is well represented by the adaptation of Catcher in the Rye:

Holden Caulfield

Angst angst angst swear curse swear crazy crazy angst swear curse, society sucks, and I'm a stupid jerk.

Fixed the formatting. - pesta, Nov 29, 2011
And if you replace swearing with pontificating you get an Ayn Rand novel :bug: - lorenzo9, Nov 29, 2011
No way Lorenzo! At least Catcher in the Rye is self aware! The writer is looking back on a phase, Ayn Rand genuinely beleives all that rubbish! - rabbitwho, Nov 30, 2011
