Like I said, I read it 5 years ago. Even more, now that I think about it. I must have been 13.
It left me with a good feelinf, that's all.
Also, I'd like to recommend Agota Kristof's books, all of them.

Bought Non-Fiction by Chuck Palahniuk today, the original plan was to buy some wacky Sci-Fi dealio, but I ended up with N-F instead

I've been meaning to grab that for awhile now. Seriously, if there was a way to mainline Palahniuk, I'd do that drug constantly.
I just finished Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell, and I'm starting in on Faithful by Stephen King and Stewart O'Nan. After that, next up is Neal Stephenson's System of the World and maybe Bacak Obama's autobiography if I've got time later.

Well, right now, I'm reading a book called Stark Raving Rulers. It's about despots in the world today.
I've read quite a bit during the holidays. I especially liked a book called Eats, Shites and Leaves. It's about crap English and examining it.
I've got to finish Stephen King's The Dark Half as well.

I just started on some kind of a post-apoc novel, Damnation Alley or something to that effect.

I got about halfway through Palahniuk's Diary before it got tedious. Now I'm onto Brightness Falls by Jay McInerney.

Vonnegut's Player Piano because I like to pretend I'm reading grownup books.

I'm reading some Haruki Murakami, and it's pretty neato. But then, the japanese name will scare more than a few.

Ya it was interesting stuff, there was some stuff that was confusing though.

Which one(s) of his? I kind of liked
Norwegian Wood and
The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle.

In french it's "La Balade de l'Impossible". The one about Watanabe and Naoko, anyway. I just finished it and it was fantastic.
I'll be getting some more of his works in the next few days.
Right now I just started some Frédéric Beigbeder and Yukio Mishima.

I just purchased a whole bunch of Pier Anthony's books. He's been one of my favorite writers ever since I read his Tar0t book series.

I was really into Piers Anthony a long time ago. I read about 7 books into his Xanth series, then I realized that they're all basically the same book.

I think it's because most people find that they can relate to (sympathize with) Holden on an uncannily personal level. At least that's why I liked it.

Indeed. That's why Murakami is great too.

The fact that so many teenagers empathize with Holden makes me wary. I haven't read Catcher, nor do I plan to. Sounds like a big ol' angst-fest.
