J. D. Salinger - Catcher in the Rye




When I was a twelve year old in grade 6, I thought it would be a good idea to read my big sister's copy of this book, and see what all the fuss was about. This book seemed to be notorious and controversial. 

I had never read anything like it.  It was absolutely riveting and turned me into a lifelong J. D. Salinger fan.   A lot of people didn't seem to like the Glass family saga that Salinger got into after Catcher in the Rye, but I loved it, particularly the book Franny and Zooey

I am intrigued by what Salinger books his son Matthew found in his father's safe and what will be published soon.  I would be happy to have more books in the Glass family saga.
