I like the book. A true coming of age story, although the main character was a little to whiny for my taste. All in all a good book, one of the best I read in high school.

Let alone by an establishment trying to teach "kids" anything. Hell if you're going to force kids to read books for english, why not force them to read something actually considered to be a classic, oh like, A Tale of Two Cities, or Moby Dick. Hell where did Huck Finn go? Fuck this book and its "deep meaning". Next thing you'll read is Farenheit 451. I suggest taking a cue from that book a set fire to the damn thing the second its handed to you.

Also i did that exact project and just used a song that said fuck alot.

thats a completely ignorant thing to say.

i had to read a lot of great books that were "forced upon me"

Such as: One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, Catch-22, The Stranger, and Invisible Man

wait, how is it ignorant for forcing kids to read good examples of literature (which happens to be the classics)?

i said it was ignorant to say that all books required from school are bad.

can you highlight where he said this, because i dont see it. I just see the notion that catcher in the rye specifically should not be forced upon anyone.

Worst book I really ever did read. In fact, I never finished it. I read Notes from the Underground instead.

Im suprised you weren't taken aback at the fact that
1. I had a similar opinion as yours
2. I can actually read.
3. That I do read good books.

451 is a book Id like to see an updated movie of. War of the Worlds-esque without the tom cruise.
