So far I'm really enjoying it.

Master Slave wrote: I picked up Catcher In The Rye again after I finished 1984 the other day. Jesus Christ I love that book. Probably because Holden reminds me of myself in many ways. And because after reading it I feel like theres a Holden Caulfield I could call up and talk about the state of the world with. Or something.
That's how I felt when I first read CITR at about age 15. Then I read it again when I was about 18. I got an entirely different view of Holden and myself when I re-read it. I suggest you do the same a few years down the road. |

I read The Plague by Alberu Camus today. Good stuff. Tomorrow I've got to read a book about Ralph Nader or read Melville's Bartleby and Benito Cereno. Ah, college. |

Currently I'm reading Ayn Rand's The Fountainhead. If anyone has read it and would like to share their opinions, I would love to hear them. |

Oh man, I read the first two books and was blown away, but I never got around to the third. I think I'm going to re-read all of them this summer. |
