My first encounter with Salinger, like many others, was The Catcher in the
Rye...it was not a great one though.  I was 13 and stuck alone in my sister's
1 room, cluttered to say the least, college apartment.  I was suppose to be
writing a report on the Triangle Fire of 1911, but this red covered book
caught my attention.  I started reading...I hated it.  Needless to say I went
on to read Franny and Zooey and the other published works, loved them.  I
reread cathcer a couple months ago.  I like it a lot better now.  Must be 13
is too young, atleast for me to actually get it.
