I'd really like to read Catcher in the Rye, but it's been implicated in so many assassinations I'm not sure it would be a positive move. I've read one academic interpretations of the novel's meaning and cultural impact, I know many books have been written about CITR, so no problem if you all feel that subject's been beaten to death. I just think our point-of-view has been absent from the dialogue, all I ever see are disturbed minds and their scholarly interpretations, nothing from a recovering mentally ill perspective.
Anyway, that's my vote for the day!trouble

Last winter after I finished reading Catcher in the Rye I had an awful panic attack. Reading it was like putting salt in my wounds of depression. It made my already bleak world view that much worse. I turned into a zombie from shock and I couldn't really explain what was going on. The vibe from the book made the depression that much harder to fight because of the main character's views and actions.
CITR may be vary valuable for others in the group, for the book does make you think and the writing is quite good. I just don't want to read it untill more time has passed.
