Read this in high school!!
Same here. That is (for me) many moons ago so I’m in for a revisit. Thanks so much for dropping by.
Haha… many moons ago for me too!
I think Catcher In the Rye is a great book, filled with subtle analogies. I was somewhat disappointed in the ending, it left something to be desired. Thank you for the great review.
My pleasure. I must reread it.
I read it again a few years ago and wondered what all the fuss was about.
Also read this in high school, as did my daughter. I know Salinger wrote more (but not a lot) – but this was his best work, I think.
I too read The Catcher in the Rye at school. I really must reread it. Thanks for the inspiration.
Hi there. So must I. Thank you so much for following as well. All the very best. Chris.
