I didn't like it one bit...thought it was too angsty and self-indulgent. At the time I remember thinking JD Salinger is certainly no Robert Heinlein. Now that I'm old, I might try it again...but I am a bit more intrigued by his short stories. I read it when I was 19 too…for some lit class.

I loved it ... but realized when I reread it in my 20's that I hadn't understood it very well at all. There are a lot of the so-called classics that I was never required to read for school, so if I didn't pick it up myself I never did read most of them. It pains me to realize how poorly read I am in some of those ways, but like you, no one has ever accused me of not being a reader.
