Catcher in the Rye dropped from US school curriculum

Always hated that book.

Too bad they are not replacing it with something decent.

What did you hate about it? Much of ‘Catcher in the Rye’ was written during World War II when Salinger was in the service. So when reading that novel keep in mind that the person was writing it while preparing for or recovering from D-Day (in which Salinger participated).
