I'm not sure about this thread. I don't think just posting catcher in the rye or saying you read it or actually have had read it magically makes you a rebel or smarter because from what I've seen in 99% of these threads the 'discuss this book' is typical high school reading requirements.

I think Rye is a pretty cool guy, eh hates phoneys and doesn't afraid of anything

The difference is in who remembers it, who identifies with it, and which of the 99% of students that are forced to read this actually hold a level of appreciation for it.

It's basically just a narrative.

Some people can relate to narration when all you do is criticize things.

The only reason it's as popular as it is is mainly due to religious zealots trying to ban it.

I loved this book when it was introduced to me in high school. Maybe it's because I identified strongly with Holden. I was surprised that so few people enjoyed it.
I'm gonna go read it again, it's been a few years.

You know what really gets me? Those guys who always are talking about that on book by Salinger. I mean, there's no problem in liking something, but there's no need to go around talking about it all the time. It's all really ironical when you think about it, but also just sad.
