    It's fad fiction, like 1984.

    wow you people are weird, you don't like catcher in the rye and you don't like 1984...what about A Brave New World or On The Road?

    Not everyone has your taste in books. I also think The Catcher in the Rye sucks.

    So basically you listed the 4 most overrated books in all of literature already. Hype, fad fiction.

  18. jaychou
    Date: Sat, Jan 30 2010 03:47:10

    no, all the most overrated books would be taken by charles dickens, that guy fucking sucks

    Actually, a lot of the books they assign you to read in high school suck. "The Great Gatsby," "How To Kill A Mockingbird," "Of Mice And Men"... blah.

    I just read the synopsis of "The Catcher in the Rye." Damn that sounds boring.

    anyone understand heart of darkness???

    read brave new world 2 years ago.... not great, but i read the whole thing, which is an achievement, seeing as i stop reading after about 4 pages
    to kill a mockingbird also understood and read the whole thing

    although my judgement in a good book is whether i can finish the thing

    1984 was really good too.

    i'm now very curious what you count as a "good book"

  25. strat1227
    Date: Sun, Jan 31 2010 13:54:13

    Catch-22 is my favorite book, and the first one that comes to mind

    lol i hope that was meant to be a tautology to bring us together, and not to be patronizing.

    either way, i agree biggrin.gif

    Date: Mon, Feb 1 2010 05:24:21

    well the Where's Waldo is a little questionable

    but i'm serious on the Dr. Seuss books; those are great

    lol, Eso "reads the synopsis" of Catcher in the Rye and thinks it's boring. That just goes to show what an ignorant fucktard you are.

    The Catcher in the Rye is amazing novel, and if you read it (especially you lonely fuckers here on UPSB) and think it's "boring", then you need to learn to read beyond face-value.

    Or just accept not everyone has the same opinion about writing styles.

    Eh, I loved Catcher in the Rye. A good book will always be a good book.

    Lol Retros shock value act got boring a long time ago

    I didn't think it was boring, it was just bad.

    i think the one thing we should all agree on is:

    Dr. Seuss = awesome

    Charles Dickens = needs to die in a fire
