  • 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.

  • 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.

    Well, now I'm sure you're just trolling. :)

    Erm ... seriously, you might want to re-read it if that's your memory of it. It's rather different ...
