I never read "catcher in the Rye" probably because as a girl from a working class family I just couldn't feel sorry for a rich kid slobbering over himself in a rich boarding school. I mean, get a break. I had to work part time and study hard. Who had time for feeling sorry for oneself?
BTW: Wasn't Catcher in the Rye the book in Conspiracy theory, i.e. that was the clue you had been programed by the evil CIA or whatever?

I never read it, nor did I ever think about reading it. "Old Man of the Sea" was read because it was assigned by Mrs. Uteck, the ancient English teacher everyone thought should have retired after our parents had her. I can still hear her going on & on & on about "irony". She cured me of any further interest in Hemingway.

Yes it was.

Based on the fact Hinckley had it on him when he shot Reagan.
