> "Catcher" is a "10th grade book" > but as a teacher of 12th grade and an elective I "get" "Nine Stories," "Franny > and Zooey," and "Raise High..." Not bad work. I read the first few chapters of TCIR to the teenage playwriting/drama class I used to teach as an exemplar of first person narrative. It had them so engrossed it was hard to put it down and get them started on work! It's definitely a wonderful book to read out loud, where you can get a good sense of the dynamics of the language.
