The Catcher In The Rye – J D Salinger

READ FOR BOOKCLUB

Chosen by Suzy

Holden Caulfield narrates the story of a couple of days in his 16-year-old life after being expelled from school. A book that has seen a continuous cult following since its 1951 publication.

❖ “This is my all-time favourite book, I never re-read and I have read this every 2-3 years since high school.  Holden’s observations about people, his surroundings, life in general are perfect.  He is literature’s best slacker & cynic – I heart you Holden.” – Suzy

❖ “A book which is ideal for reading and reading again. Holden is uber cool and easy to connect with, despite, or because of, his rebellious nature. Love him. Love his world.” – Rachel
