What if I already have & found it to be overly predictable & extremely lame? >:

No thank you.

I've already had that book shoved down my throat by my english teacher.

Did not taste good.

In other words, fuck you >:

Your opinion doesn't count Rongi because no one likes you.

I'd rather have that book shoved down my throat ten times than ever have to read "The Scarlet Letter" again.

Personally this is one of my favourites reads. Have a few copies of it here in the house. Like the ones with the red covers the most. I don't know about predictable. Some books, like American Gods, I try to figure out as I read them and become disappointed when its too easy, but it wasn't like that with this particular one.

Oddly enough, this is the only book I like by J.D.

No no, you got it all mixed up.

Your opinion doesn't count because it sucks, and no one likes you :).

Catcher is one book I can read over and over and can never get tired of. The same goes with Junky by William S. Burroughs, Rage (now "banned"-I found it on kazaa)by Stephen King, and Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption and Skeleton Crew also by SK.
