Catcher in the Rye

I really love this book.

I got into it, funnily enough, through Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex as a result of the Complex story arc involving the Laughing Man.

I first signed it out of the local library and read through it before returning it and purchasing my own copy of it (along with Nine Stories, also by J.D. Salinger) only to promptly read through it again shortly afterwards.

Really, excellent book. Who else has read it?

And what were your thoughts?



P.S. In before comments along the lines of, "STFU WITH YOUR EMOFAG SHIT!"

Not necessarily an urgence, but the guy who killed John Lennon, while not directly influenced by it, loved the book and shared Holden's feelings about phonies.

He also referred to himself/signed things with the name Holden Caulfield or "the Catcher in the Rye" at times.
