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.
