Great Novel

by LiteratureMan on Apr 25, 2013

I'm always amazed how Christians find this book so offensive. Ironically, their objections are precisely why I think it is great. Holden Caulfield is morally bankrupt. But rather than suppress this sort of literature, I think it's all the more important to put and keep it in circulation. There are ... More

Amazing & short for a classic.

by RANDOLPH R on Dec 15, 2011

The action takes place over a short period of time and is full of repeats of stupid kid stuff but remarkably hip for a boy so young. It was a neat read and I enjoyed it this second time around. There was much more to it than I recalled. More

I am a writer and a total bibliophile and this is one of those cases when people don't understand something so they say it's brilliant because they don't want anyone to think they "don't "get it."

Catcher vs. Mockingbird vs. 1984 vs. Gatsby!!!

If The Catcher in the Rye, To Kill a Mockingbird, 1984, and The Great Gatsby were all tossed into a literary cage-fighting match together, which book would emerge as the victor? To make this interesting, let's include The Hunger Games, which isn't a literarly classic like the others but IS about ... More
