Through passion, I gain strength.
Through strength I gain power.
Through power, I gain victory.
Through victory, my chains are broken.

Didn't he recently sue the author of a crappy Catcher in The Rye sequel for plagiarism? Anyone know how that turned out?

And more importantly, Zelda Rubinstein, the munchkin psychic from the Poltergeist movies died today aged 76.

(What can I say? I like Poltergeist better than catcher in the Rye!) :o
An old-school, no-bullshit, boys-own action/adventure comic reminiscent of the 2000ads and Eagles and Warlords and Battles and other glorious black-and-white comics that were so, so cool in the 70's and 80's - Buy the hardback Christmas Annual!

Me too! Although, in Catcher's defence, I think the main reason I disliked it was that I read it for the first time in my 20s. I suspect that if I'd read it as a teen, I'd be praising Holden Caulfield as a hero rather than wanting to punch him for being a whiny twat.

Mmmm... back to the drawing board then...

Read it as a teen shortly after reading A Clockwork Orange and it paled. PALED.

Similar story to me. I was in my early 30s when I read "Catcher In The Rye" and only read it because it was so heavily referenced in the first series of "Ghost In The Shell: Stand Alone Complex". I got the feeling that to have got the most out of the book I should have read it in my teens.

I'd never been aware of having met anyone who didn't like Catcher in the Rye before, so this outpouring of hate (here and elsewhere) has really taken me by surprise.

I first read it when I was a whingey 14 year old and absolutely loved it. I've not reread it for a while but it hadn't lost its appeal on numerous rereads. You'll be having a pop at The Breakfast Club next!

If anything, it had the opposite effect on me: an appreciation that rich people could have feelings too.
