Catcher In The Rye

[Lester]

Right. One of my all time favourite books is Catcher In The Rye.

Has anyone else read it?
What did you think?
Did you want to kill a famous person/yourself?
Did you go around saying things like " I got a slug in my guts" for weeks afterwards and "madman".

You're obsessed with that book Lester !

I read it years ago. All I can really remember about it is that it was a pretty good book, interesting story, but I didn't want to go kill anyone.

Can't believ I'm taking my own thread off topic.....

o.k. carry on with Catcher please.

Was this thread started due to Channel 5 playing "Conspiracy Theory" last night by any chance??

Titus Groan by Mervyn Peake.

On a less heavyweight note The Winter King by Bernard Cornwall (yes, him ) is suprisingly an excellent book I would recommend to anyone.

I read that and for whom the bell tolls last holiday (Playa Del Ingles - Grand Canaria) I thought the book was a bit weird, I recon I should read it again. It seemed to be a book based around exploring a character rather than the story. It was a good(and quick) read.

This book rules.

FIE on anyone who does not think so.
