Read for school, around 1979 or 1980. Did not like at all -- felt vulgar and depressing. Would probably experience it differently today but have no desire to reread. Let those who love it enjoy it, but if you didn't like it don't feel guilty.

I don't know, I guess it made more of an impact when I was a teenager.
One thing I found interesting is the way this book linked up with the last book I read, "Imagine Me Gone". Sort of made me wonder if the author of that book was thinking of The Catcher when writing his novel. Maybe not - it could just be a coincidence.
