Sometimes I wonder if I was the only kid who never got assigned ‘Catcher in the Rye’ to read in school. I went through during the ‘60s, graduated ‘71. Never read the book. Did read everything Heinlein ever wrote, though. Maybe I’ll pick up Catcher and give it a go. I enjoyed the Harry Potter book my daughter gave me, so why not?

I graduated twenty years later and was never assigned the book.

Don’t bother. If you like Heinlein read Asimov Robot trilogy: Caves of Steel, Naked Sun, Robots of Dawn. Fun.

You even read those interminable late period Heinlein novels like ‘Time Enough For Love’?
