Once was enough.
My HS English teacher was ‘fresh out of college’ and made us read that trash novel. We had to get written permission from our parents to approve it because of ‘sex’ in the novel.
She fawned over it like it was the greatest piece of literature on earth. Why in hell she thought having a bunch of HS kids read a novel about a dumbass HS kid trying to get laid, was a good thing, I’ll never know.....................
As a BONUS, we had to read The Sun Also Rises by Hemmingway....................About a guy who can’t get laid......................
No I meant something other than CITR. Read his short stories like “For Esme with Love and Squalor”. Salinger was a D-Day vet and described the trauma those soldiers went through with great poignancy.
