I've never bothered with Catcher in The Rye. The consensus seems to be that if you're not a 16 year old boy (or Mark David Chapman) it's probably not for you.
Consensus among people who haven't understood any of it?
It's a great book. I can only suggest you give it a try.

Potentially! I might try and pick a copy up. Not really got a fat lot else on at the minute.

By all means read the book, it’s a great piece of writing. I had the book thrust into my hands as a teenager “you’ll love this” I read it. It’s the totally unrelateble story of a young snob having a jolly. I remember thinking about the realms of fantasy as he at 15 can afford to book a hotel room. It’s pre-bonespur Trump all over.
If Vernon God Little had been written at that point or even The Wrong Boy, I would have been all over those.

You've probably picked a good time to read The Plague though! (Or maybe a really terrible time?)
