What do you think? Is Catcher an age-bound book?-- I think that one of the greatest aspects of CITR, a feature that makes it such a masterpiece, is that it gives something different to different ages. I read it when I was a freshman in high school, genuinely liked it, but read it again as a college sophomore and had a completely different read of it, and got a lot of different things from it. Another book with this quality, mentioned previously on this list, is TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD. Different reads are available at different ages and like all books, as a person grows, they change and they bring all of those changes to a book. I don't think that CITR is "age-bound" but age certainly has a lot to do with the interpretations a reader makes of it, or any given work for that matter. Rachel
