I read Catcher recently, and I have to say, although I liked the theme of Holden's difficulty in making the transition from childhood to adulthood, the writing was annoying. The repetition of certain words or phrases like 'phoney' or 'that killed me' made me want to chuck the book out of the window. Not one of my favourites.

SHUE! , i can`t agree more , srry scotty but the novel is as lame assed as it gets , the only reason such a mills @ boon novel found classic status is becuase it was in the back pocket of mark chapman when he shot john lennon in central park . neither is (or was ) relevant to adolecence, TO KILL A MOCKING BIRD , by a country mile as a epic novel ,didn't like The Catcher in the Rye at all. i think a must read is Animal Farm as well as Wuthering Heights and To Kill a Mockingbird.

The book maybe became more famous because of the John Lennon thing, but the book had already achieved it's status from litterary readers before then.SHUE! , i can`t agree more , srry scotty but the novel is as lame assed as it gets , the only reason such a mills @ boon novel found classic status is becuase it was in the back pocket of mark chapman when he shot john lennon in central park . neither is (or was ) relevant to adolecence, TO KILL A MOCKING BIRD , by a country mile as a epic novel

Reading books is my hobby since I was a child.
I enjoy all Chales dicken's Novels specially Great Expectations.
Now I am into a job so I try to read out more and more online leadership books and leadership articles related to sharpening management skills.
It helps me a lot in building my personality.

Animal Farm was alright. I think its a book you can read when you are 13.But To Kill a mocking bird is fantastic. Fit for all.Shue wrote:i didn't like The Catcher in the Rye at all. i think a must read is Animal Farm as well as Wuthering Heights and To Kill a Mockingbird.

I love Charles Dickens' work. I just finished a major paper analyzing Mr. Micawber in David Copperfield.marksmithh wrote:Hi !!
