 The Catcher in the
Rye
 by J. D. Salinger
 Over a certain age, people who grew up
and went to school in Western countries
can be conveniently divided into two
groups: those who read The Catcher in the
Rye and found it whiny, pretentious, and
self-involved, and those who read The
Catcher in the Rye and found it
meaningful, revolutionary and life-altering,
 only to realize later, once the really scary
hormones got washed out their system,
that it is, in fact, whiny, pretentious, and
self-involved.
