J.D. Salinger

I have to do a project in school about J.D. Salinger and would be very glad about any thoughts or comments.
Have fun!

Has anyone read this book?


What is your favourite book by J.D. Salinger? Which do you like best?

Which do you find weird?

How do you like his other books ( besides "The Catcher in the Rye" )?

What do you think his books mean to say? What is the message?

This year I finally picked up The Catcher and the Rye and absolutely loved it! I didn't expect it to be the way it was, but I was pleasantly surprised. I can't even really explain why I liked it so much, it was just one of those books that I could really relate to.

Franny and Zooey is my favorite novel of his. But I did like The Cather in the Rye.

Any stories involving the Glass family are the ones that touch me the most.

The only book of his I've read was The Catcher in the Rye but it's been a while since I've read it. I need to read it again because I really enjoyed the first reading. Other than that, I've never read anything more of Salinger.

The only book of his I've read is Catcher In The Rye which I picked up earlier in the year because it's one of *those* books that you should read.
I for one, loved it.
I think it's a great book for everyone as we can all relate to Holden because everyone's been through, or going through that transitional phase where you realize the world isn't perfect and neither are the people in it.
I think it captures that really well.

One of my friends in my English Literature class studied it at GCSE and I am so jealous!

I definitely plan on reading his other books

I only read the Catcher In The Rye and I fell in love with it. It's very timeless and easy to relate to.

I haven't read it in a long time. I should pick it up again. I really have to start making a list of all the books I want read and start crossing the ones that I have. I have too much on my wishlist and too little time.

Yeah, I agree. I still haven't gotten to reread Catcher in the Rye again. With school on top of everything else, I just don't have any time to read things for fun.

I know what you mean. I have so much I have to read for school and I have to work, I can't find the time to read for fun.
