    I attended a Catholic school. The following year I was going away to a boarding school. That school sent a summer reading list that included this book. I began reading it. Someone informed me it might not be the best book to read at the Catholic school given the Church had banned the book.

    I certainly identified with Holden as a 14-year old boy.

  • I wish this book would have been required reading for me in school. I bought this on a whim because i thought it was a book that i should read, and i was right. Great stuff!
