please, people. tell me about catcher in the rye. i've been told that i must read it, and now, i need enough information about it to safely fake having read it. i got about twenty pages in before throwing it across the room in a rage at main characters bawww-ness. so, what do i need to know about catcher in the rye?
The book sucks. Its lame. If you want a good read, try 1984 or a clock work orange. Battlefield Earth was a book i thought would suck due to seeing the ove turned out to be great. Its an exquisite read but the movie blows donkey dick. You would figure that seeing as how John Travolta is a Scientology-fag, he woulda done a better job in that movie, seeing as how the book was written by L Ron Hubbard, the founder of his fail religion. The book is good and surprisingly, does not promote scientology. Try it.
I thought I read Catcher in high school. Years later I found a real copy, and discovered that the version I read was so heavily censored that it amounted to "One day I went for a crummy walk. Then I came home. The end."

I'm curious as to how you you came by a censored version of Catcher in the Rye. Salinger doesn't even like artwork on the cover of any of his books and this rule has been held through countless printings, so the man clearly has control over publication. I can't believe there's a cleaned up version.

I came by it in a stack on a teacher's desk in another English classroom, and liberated it because it sounded cooler than the Bridge to Faggotry my class was reading.
i rememeber some of this
i read it in the 5th grade cause my sister suggested it. she was pretty weird.
but anyways just read the book. or go on sparknotes lol.
i actually have 4 copies of that book i happened to acquire over the years. it is a good read, and quick if you get into it, it is supposedly about post traumatic stress syndrome.
