I read it in English class (in Germany). Pretty much along with "Slaughterhouse Five". I saw those two books with a common, secret bond.

So it goes. RIP, maker of the "Catcher".

I read Catcher in the Rye while in my sophomore year of high school but being more normal self when it comes to school, I did not pay enough attention to remember much more than a few bits and pieces. My friend liked reading it to the class because it gave him a reason to curse without getting in trouble.
There are many in this world that call me Darrol, feel free to be apart of that group.
