Four Tragedies (Hamlet, Macbeth, Othello, King Lear) - Shakespeare

The Catcher In The Rye - JD Salinger (my all-time favourite)

I never knew a lot of people liked Catcher in the Rye

 

[Rockyroad]

I never knew a lot of people liked Catcher in the Rye

I know! I thought it was alright - a few funny and thought provoking bits but overall it was boring - I don't understand the fuss at all. It is my sister's favourite book too. I just don' t get it. There are so so so much better books.
