Catcher in the Rye - what do you think?

[Edwina's Secretary]

Oh no....there are books out there that for one reason or another groups decide are immoral or whatever and ban them. I've heard of in the South even as late as the 70s that they burned books

Regrettably this goes on in school districts today. Tom Sawyer is one that gets banned and comes immediately to mind. Speaks to the power of the written word doesn't it -- when people are afraid?

BTW...I read CITR years ago. It was a kind of "rite of passage." I wasn't shocked but I found Hollton rather self-absorbed and boring which would be a good description for JD Salinger as well.

All a matter of personal taste!
