I'm reading The Catcher in the Rye and I'm enjoying it so far. The narrator uses the same expressions often and some of them make me laugh just because they are so old fashioned. I'm halfway through the book and I'm somewhat surprised the plot hasn't developed more. The book has mostly just been the main character describing events and past experiences. That said, it is still a "goodread". Also, I've heard that the book is highly controversial and I think I've found what makes it this way, though I haven't read it completely. The main character believes that society is dull and "phony". He wishes to run away and create a better life for himself but society dictates that people must adhere to the norm and he cannot do this. That's where I am so far.
