I really like the Catcher in the Rye and the movie Valley Girls. I thought they were supposed to be comedies. Well that is how I read them anyway. I also liked Raise High the RoofBeam Carpenters and 7 Short Stories by Salinger.

IMO,lazy parents and the liberals assault on our American values thru everyday resistance to religion, and responsibility and hard work-As well as the creation of the Welfare State by Democrats looking to retain power- have more to do with the decline of our society than some work of fiction by a very silly man.

Ok I'm not the only one who's crazy. I loved Catcher In the Rye and Franny and Zooey. I think there is a statement to be made for conservatives to like this book. It's about disillusionment with establishment. Remember, even Holden's liberal teacher makes a homosexual pass at him. The author is a pervert, but I still like both of these books, and I'm an English teacher.
