Jonathan Goldstein's "City of Big Shoulders (and Readers)" discusses
the reading project in Chicago involving a mass reading of one book.
I think the first one was To Kill a Mockingbird and now they are
considering the next book. Librarians aren't saying what it will be,
and I doubt it will be Catcher (Chicagoans just don't understand New
York--if they did, they'd move there! Cecilia, I love you too!).
Anyway, here's the line about Holden and all: "So when a large,
mustachioed man in a Bears cap sits beside me on the 66 bus to
Pulaski and asks whether I think Holden Caulfield is crazy, he's
going to be expecting some answers."
I may be wrong, but I wondered if Catcher wasn't the most often
alluded to novel in the NYTimes in the last 50 years or so...will
