i keep reading the catcher in the rye over and over. i cant seem to find any other books i love as much as that one. i read this one book called "dogrun" recently to try and break the monotony but it just wasnt as good. would anyone care to share any books that you are in love with and cant stop reading, or any books you have read recently that you have liked or disliked. thanks buddies! ------------------ Paranoid, trying to stuff the void.
I've read about half of catcher in the rye, and (i don't know if this is good or bad) but i REALLY REALLY identify with him at various times in the story, like when he talks about how he feels about some dude who's a complete jackass. And how he feels when that dude goes out with a chick he really has the hots for. ------------------ Anyone need a C/C++/Win32/HTML/PHP/SQL/Java/Perl/x86 coder?
That makes me laugh - in the movie "Conspiracy Theory" (Mel Gibson, Julia Roberts) they have US Government trained assassins who were programmed to kill but didn't realize it. The kicker is that they also program these killers to be helplessly addicted to Catcher in the Rye, so they can track them down when they buy the book. Supposedly Lee Harvey Oswald and the guy who shot Reagan both had several copies of CIR. No Idea if this is actually fact, but someone told me it was.... ------------------ God help me, ...I was only nineteen. Current Rocket's Salary & Contract Info

I finished Motley Crue: The Dirt not too long ago. Great book. I couldn't put it down. With the Lord of the Rings movies about to come out, I started reading the Hobbit and LOTR.

This is more related to John Lennon's assassin, Mark David Chapman. Just after shooting Lennon he pulled out his dog-eared copy of Catcher in the Rye and waited for the cops to show up. What a useless jerk! He not only killed one of the greatest men ever, he also tainted this great book. -Elvis ------------------
