Ernest Hemingway

Simon & Schuster Audio, 2006

Brilliant reading by William Hurt

+ I Have Heard Every Reading

The Big Book points out that ...
  
  











  



  
The Catcher in the Rye5 reviews
J. D Salinger

Little, Brown and Company, 1951

I'm in Love with Holden Caulfield (and J.D. Salinger)

+ Scott R. Cooley's Review of The Catcher In The Rye
+ great book for a jaded person

To give "The Catcher in the Rye" 5 stars is like giving "The Complete Works of William Shakespeare" 5 stars. I'm not kidding. I read "The Catcher in the Rye" in the 8th grade. And, okay, I was a little bit more than entranced by the (shocking!) use of profanity. This was, after all, 1968. ...
