30 Day Book Challenge: Day One


“Best book you read last year”
The Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger

I chose to read this book for my summer reading assignment last year, knowing little about it besides that it was a classic, banned book that was often taught in high schools. It was a (pleasant) surprise to read as it is not the common “classic” book you hear about. It tells of a young boy, Holden, who was kicked out of (yet another) private school. Not wanting his parents to find out just yet, Holden sets out on a journey in New York City, featuring booze, prostitutes, nuns, carousels, and much more. It’s an interesting book and a great read and I recommend it to all! :)
