It left so very little impression that I could never remember what it was about, to be honest. I just remembered it being foul, angst gibberish and have never cared to go back and re-read it all the decades since then. Never understood what the appeal was. But--different strokes for different folks, I guess. ;) Goodbye DJ.

I stopped & laughed many times, though I think reading a whole book written in that punk's voice might've been too much for me. <br /><br />Public attention would be a freaky thing to have to suddenly deal with, so I can feel for J.D., but you're absolutely right that the result was to draw more attention. Hmm, perhaps I'll check out that book by his daughter.Nicki Elsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11412032684225126973noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4501852053743373610.post-20735586496580200812012-06-28T12:02:31.981-04:002012-06-28T12:02:31.981-04:00"The Catcher in the Rye" is one of my ve..."The Catcher in the Rye" is one of my very favorite books :0)Crazy Life of a Writing Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16064939499412649850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4501852053743373610.post-46683861840533214652012-06-28T10:56:59.068-04:002012-06-28T10:56:59.068-04:00How interesting....

Not growing up in the U.S., may have been one reason, but I have read most of the rest of famous American authors.

I know I speak blasphemy but the only thing that gave the book notoriety was the fact that every sentence practically had cursing. Not just a little Damn here and there but the F bomb constantly dropped. To me it had no meaning, no reason and I'm still baffled that it is so popular. Having said that everyone has different taste in literature. FYM has a right to like Salinger of course. How boring would life be if we were all alike in our taste and personalities.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
