Don John of Austria Posted July 14, 2005 Posted July 14, 2005 [quote name='homeschoolmom' date='Jul 13 2005, 08:47 PM']So, if I believe a book to be horrible then it follows that I want to burn it? [right][snapback]642596[/snapback][/right] [/quote] Well Catcher in the Rye is precisly that horrible. I have burned that book and will most likly continue to do so when given the oppertunity but it is not that I think they all should be burned I just really really despise that book and by destroying copies I hope to prevent at least someone from being exposed to the horror that is that book.

[right][snapback]642656[/snapback][/right] [/quote] Yes, well....let me tell you something. I had to read that horrible excuse for a book my Junior [b]AND[/b] Senior year of high school. I thought reading it Junior year was bad enough. But no....I get to Senior year and my teacher gives us the list of books we'll be reading throughout the year and that same book is on there. We told him we had already read the abomination but he said it would do us "good" to read it again. It would have also been "good" to put a bullet in my head except my faith prevents me from doing so.

homeschoolmom Posted July 14, 2005 Posted July 14, 2005 I think it just goes without saying and we can all agree that The Catcher in the Rye is just horrible. Having to read it twice? Oh, man... NI! ni!

homeschoolmom Posted July 14, 2005 Posted July 14, 2005 Do you think it's a coincidence that Saliger became a recluse? Maybe even he was ashamed of his "great American novel"
jmjtina Posted July 14, 2005 Posted July 14, 2005 If you didn't see any red flags into the first book, either for children or yourself, then heed the warning. To dismiss the warning totally because, "we're big enough" would be folly.
