A Catcher in the Rye is one of the few books that I've read multiple times. I didn't really get it for awhile, but somewhere before I got to the end it just hit me.  Fantastic book.  I think I'm due for a reread now.

To anyone reading it for the first time - hope you enjoy it.

I've only read it twice, Chanah, but I have to say that reading it as an adult was a completely different experience from reading it as a 15-year-old.

I've been trying to remember the last time I read it, and failing.  But it certainly was as an adult.  Still, I imagine it may be different, now that I have a teenage son of my own.

You did still enjoy it as an adult, did you not?

I've got nothing so I've been reading The Outsiders, which I picked up for DS a while back. It's so sad.

Oh man, I remember that film so well.  I thought it was the saddest thing I'd ever seen.

Kathy Reich's newest novel, "Devil Bones".  So good it's hard to put down!

Not better, nor worse.  Just....different.

Pride & Prejudice.

Bought it on Friday and finished it last night.  I really enjoyed it.

I've finished it and I liked it, I think.  But I need to read it again because I wasn't really picking up too much other than it's a kind of sad story.  :-\\\\

Yep, it's been a sob fest here. Finished The Outsiders and moved on to The Outcast. I'm sensing a theme! One that requires a lot of tissues.

I just started The Mitfords: Letters Between Six Sisters by Charlotte Mosley. It's sooooo good, and it's 832 wonderful pages long!  ;D
