I’m finishing up a Stephen King short story book. I actually don’t remember the name. I tried to borrow Catcher in the Rye from the library but they didn’t have it or it was out. I never read it and recently saw a movie about JD Salinger and him writing it.

@4thdimensiondream Catcher in the Rye is one of my favorite books. It is on the top of banned books lists. When I've re-read it as an adult, I can't quite figure out what all the hubbub is about. I've heard and seen worse in movies.

Wow I didn’t know it was controversial. I knew it had a dark side, as he was traumatized from the war and personal issues. This makes me want to read it even more. Thanks!

@4thdimensiondream you're welcome! It's very controversial but I've never quite understood why. I read it in high school and it didn't even register as shocking. I bet you can find it on Amazon for pennies, being so well-known.
