I spend quite a bit of time reading, but I am quite slow. I read a wide variety of books. Currently, I am reading Salinger's The Catcher in the Rye. I realized when Salinger passed away this past year that I never read this "classic."
I'm only about a quarter of the way through the book, but I'm already entralled with Holden Caulfield. I think I've met him before. Hum?!?!?
I certainly can understand some of the controversy associated with teaching this book in high schools--immediately noting that some audiences may be offended by the language and discussion of sexuality. Quite honestly, the book contains nothing bawdier than anything on television after the evening news. I need to quit babbling and get reading!
