1 I loved it, I adore this bookOriginally Posted by razz
Catcher in the Rye, written by J.D. Salinger, is considered one of the most influential books of the 20th century. And it seems, we all want to know why.
I personally, am having many difficulties in getting into this book, so for now, I will post questions asked by fellow members (though paraphrased)
If anyone else has questions to add, PM them to me, and I will add them to this first post.
Member Questions:
1. How did you feel about the writing style of the book?
2. For what reason is this book so "hyped"?
3. Why do you think this book has become a modern classic?
expect more to come
2 Holden is the first character of his kind, the wild antisocial young crazy person, he sets the archetype for characters like Gilbert Grape and Tyler Dirden
3 Because everyone who reads it finds something in it they identify with
