I really hated Catcher in the Rye when i read it as a teenager. Holden Caulfield just made me wanna smack a bitch.

Catholic school baby!  I really agree with the article. And feel the same way about A Separate Peace. I’m with Lisa Simpson, I hate John Knowles. There’s a really great diagram that went around last season comparing students’ favorite books (as listed on facebook) to their SAT scores - the Bible was at the bottom and Lolita was at the top. (insert bad literary joke here)
