I like the style of J.D Salinger in his book 'Catcher in the Rye
![Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger - The Catcher in the Rye is a novel by J. D. Salinger. First published in the United States in 1951, the novel remains controversial to this day due to its liberal profanity and portrayal of sexuality and teenage angst; it was the thirteenth most frequently challenged book of the 1990s, according to the American Library Association.[1] Despite this censorship, or perhaps because of it, the novel has become one of the most famous literary works of the 20th century, and a common part of high-school curricula in many Western, English-speaking countries, such as the United States, Canada, Great Britain and Australia.

Who else have read this book? J.D. Salinger is one of my favorite author now. I think Catcher in the Rye is an all time favorite book so I am hoping one will reply to this.
I was fascinated as I saw a video interpretation of the book in youtube.com...so funny.

I like that book also, was a required reading in my college days and had recommended that to my friends. I think he is just cool enough although some people treat it as dark, it's their opinion. The book will be read many generations more I am sure.
And I will continue to recommend it to my friends.

I learned that it was really required most schools in teh US and in some countries. I wish J.D. Salinger did wrote other novels because I really like his style.
