- The Catcher in the Rye is a novel by American author J. D. Salinger that was partially published in serial form in 1945–46 before being novelized in 1951. Originally intended for adults, it is often read by adolescents for its themes of angst and alienation, and as a critique of superficiality in society. [1] The novel also deals with themes of innocence, identity, belonging, loss, connection, sex, and depression. The main character, Holden Caulfield, has become an icon for teenage rebellion. [2] Caulfield, nearly of age, gives his opinion on a wide variety of topics as he narrates his recent life events. The Catcher has been translated widely. About one million copies are sold each year, with total sales of more than 65 million books. [3] The novel was included on Times 2005 list of the 100 best English-language novels written since 1923, and it was named by Modern Library and its readers as one of the 100 best English-language novels of the 20th century.[4] [5] [6] In 2003, it was listed at number 15 on the BBC's survey "The Big Read".

- QUOTE: The Catcher in the Rye: Badly written book using many words which have not been entered into my decoder. Accordingly found it difficult to follow the motivations and actions of the young narrator. He is clearly troubled, but it is not obvious why as his family are wealthy and he attends a very good school. Surmised that a lack of parental discipline had produced this directionlessness.
