I'd have to read the stories before I could comment. I remember too well the local highschool which had to ban "Catcher in the Rye." The parents who complained had not even read the book. My own daughter, as a sophomore in a private school, read it as a class assignment, and it was discussed and explained. It was a beautiful book.

As I said, I'd have to read these stories before I could comment.

Never could see why that book was hailed as a classic

I found it tedious and depressing

I read "Catcher in the Rye" when I was in my late teens. What I remember most about the book was wondering what was the point?

Maybe if I read it now (in my early 50's) my opinion would change, but back then, I thought the book was stupid and boring.
