I first read Catcher in the Rye in high school, years after I had already gone through my own "Caulfield" period -- so I found it at the time kind of, I dunno, juvenile.
I don't know if re-reading it now would make a difference.
- bmelton 17y agoHonestly, it would probably seem even more juvenile. I just re-read it a few months ago, and almost came away from it wondering what I'd ever seen in such a book. Of course, this is decades removed from my 'damn the man' phase in life, but I found it wholly unrelatable, and even annoying in large parts of it.
