Anonymous Coward (OP) User ID: 27945631 Canada 02/27/2014 10:40 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Hated the shit catcher myself. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1466471 You didn't mention what you like to read. I would like to concentrate on literature, both old and new. They are well-written and often suggested reading material. I would like to read various genres so that I can see what I like. I searched around the internet for 'recommend a good book' searches. However, I'm finding a lot of these highly suggested books are not living up to the hype. Catcher in the Rye is on so many suggested book lists. I found the book a waste of time. I thought it was going to be amazing, but it was average at best. I don't get why so many liked it so much. So, that's what I'm trying to avoid. Thus my thread |

Most people would recommend his sci-fi but I enjoy some of his more mundane novels.

If you don't read it by the time you are 13, then don't bother. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 53513189 Yes, right! When I bought the book, the salesperson was in her early twenties. She said she read the book in grade 9 and read it again a few months again. She said it was completely different for her the second time. |
