Has anyone read J D Salinger' Catcher In The Rye? and what are your thoughts on it?
I read it in high school. I don't remember a lot about it -- other than I felt sorry for the main character. That was 20+ years ago, and haven't read it since.
I read this in high school and wrote a book report about it. It has been too long for me to remember a lot of detail, but I remember that I had a great affinity for it and I've read it more than once. I have thought of getting back to it since J.D. Salinger just died last year.
Yes, I think it is required reading for all High Schoolers. No on etakes it very seriously.
I think it is singular, funny and heartbreaking. It's a shame that so many see it as no more than high school required reading. I the good fortune to read it as an adult. It is one of those great novels that anyone can read it, but not everyone can understand.

Sometimes I have to slap myself around a bit...I'm a poet, and I have some work that I am very proud of...but when it comes to sharing my work, online, or simply giving someone a poem of mine to read, I get all weird and uncomfortable about it, like I feel that at the very least they won't know how...

Why will no one read my book?I've written a fantasy book and want to publish it in October, but whenever I ask someone to read it they conveniently disappear or are suddenly too "busy" to read it! Even if I only send them the first chapter they never get round to reading it. ...
