Catcher in the Rye
My exact thought as well. It was mandatory in HS, and i just never got the hype. Holden Caufield is a whiny phony.
It's fun irony to try to have a bunch of angsty teens read a book about an angsty teen. I bet it would come across very different to read it as an adult.
It's only fair. They whined about reading a book by a 51-year old author (Black Beauty). Now they get a taste of their own medicine.

I don't go there often for various reasons, but on the rare occasion I do, I either get a double with extra cheese and extra sauce, or I get two sandwiches.

I liked it because it's a journey with a traumatized teenager. As a teenager who didnt realize I had cptsd it hit hard for me
