Yeah man I love that one. Holden Caulfied made me feel less alone and much less crazy.

I got my Dad to read it too, we were feuding. It softened his hardness and made him remember.

That is the power of great writing.

In HS, other kids were reading it, but I wasn't. I hear it's pretty good.

i don't understand this, what were you reading and why did it make more sense to read?

Different classes were assigned different books. I recall "The Martian chronicles" which I liked, and "The scarlet letter", which I didn't like.

Other classes were assigned "Johnny got his gun", which I hear is really depressing.

Never heard of it, but wikipedia says it's from the same guy who wrote Fanny and Zoey, and Seymour: an introduction, so it must be pretty good.

Yup, hated it as a teen. Read it again at my 30s and it became a favorite of mine
