Guest Insanityman Report post Posted October 1, 2002 I JUST got done reading it. While it had a lacker-luster ending to me, I love that book. I share a few of his views and over-all it ranks next to my favorite. Your thoughts? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Choken One Report post Posted October 2, 2002 I've said it about 27452 times, The greatest novella of all time. It far surprasses The Bible in terms of impact. NOTHING can compare. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest El Satanico Report post Posted October 2, 2002 Yes, it's a very good book and i liked it alot. It's a big deal when i like a book alot since i'm not a big book reader. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Kotzenjunge Report post Posted October 2, 2002 Ever notice how this seems to be the only book that gets any discussion in the Literature folder? I love it personally, and it deserves any superlative laid upon it. Fo sheez, Kotzenjunge Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Youth N Asia Report post Posted October 2, 2002 We've had a couple lengthy threads on this before. Greatest novel of all time? Nah, I'll give that to "A Stone For Danny Fisher"...excelent book though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Sassquatch Report post Posted October 4, 2002 "Catcher in the Rye" is probably one of my Top 10 favorite books of all time. "Is this guy for real or is he just crazy?" I thought that Holden was just a bitter little man after reading about 1/4 of the book and I was about to stop reading it. But as I continued reading it, I soon realized that Holden was much more than the judgement I had made earlier about him and the book. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest BA_Baracus Report post Posted October 5, 2002 I had the choice of reading it, or Lord of the Flies in school. I picked Lord of the Flies instead. I've never read it since...probably because it has the stigma of being a "school book" for me. I'll probably pick it up eventually. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Choken One Report post Posted October 5, 2002 you chose LOTF over CITR? Your stupid and unintelligent. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest BA_Baracus Report post Posted October 6, 2002 *Shrug*. I was in grade 9 and didn't know about either book. I liked Lord of the Flies myself. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Choken One Report post Posted October 6, 2002 Lord of The Flies was horrible...I read that for school in the 7th grade and it was too atrocious...I re-read it a a couple years later thinking my youth prevented me from understanding it...nope...hated it even more.
