I hated Catcher in the Rye with a passion.
"Ooooh, he doesn't like the arrogant bully, the piano player, he went to a mental institution" incredible literature my ass.
Who gives a f**k. The biggest fake in that book was Holden Caufield.
At least Great Gatsby taught you that gat meant gun.

aatarom, I read that David Eggers book too. Wonderful read. I like his style of writing. Had me in tears many times.
The Cosmos - Carl Sagan
A Brief History of Time - Stephen Hawking
Anything by Tom Clancy (However, 'Without Remorse' is by far his best, imo)

Of Course I am. I dont believe there is a Catcher, Long Hard Road, Brave New World, or Catch-22 movie. The Rum Diary w/ Johnny Depp isnt out yet.

Favorite series was by David Eddings, the Belgaraid. 5 book series followed by another 5 book series the Mallaraon which was 5 books also. Then there were 3 books that followed those.
By far my favorite series.
Reading a new series by him now the Elder Gods, just the first book is out so far.
