So, unimportant things first, the voting system was crap, so from now on it's a nice case of reading whatever good suggestion I get given. For next month I've chosen Alice because quite a few people seem to enjoy it... should be fun times. Feel free to just flood me with suggestions guys.

Anyway, onto the real thing, Catcher in the Rye!

It's the only book I've ever read that gets worse and worse upon each read. I first read it when I was fourteen and loved it to bits, but as I've gotten older the book has just lost it for me. Maybe I've gotten less cynical over rime, maybe more. But anyway, Holdens little comming of age story just felt a little empty to me reading it though yet again.

The book I feel is very much of its time (yeah I know it was banned), it was written when tehre wasn't really a concept of teenager, so Holden is like an archetype I suppose. Probelm is now most teenagers are little Holdens, or seem to aspire to be. That said there is some awesome characterisation with Holden and I like the character of his little sister. I'll write something more detailed when I get the chance.

So anyway, what did you lot think?
