When did you first read Catcher in the Rhyme and what kind of impacted it have on you?
I read it around 15 or 16. I can't remember exactly where I was but I read it and loved the book and then revisited for this.
I read it when I was a freshman in high school which is when I think a lot of people read it here in America and the United States and it was it affected me I think the way it affects many a 14 year old where you see yourself reflected in literature in a way that you haven't seen yourself reflected in books before and you see a character that represents an angst that is something that you're feeling yourself and it makes you feel better about yourself in some way to see this character that you're forced to read about is in fact someone that you feel somewhat of a kindred spirit too I guess.
