(It may be the only book I read in its entirety during my high school career). <br /><br />My only regret is that I read it again a few years ago. I still liked it, but not to the extent I had enjoyed it at fourteen. I think modern selections like THE PERKS OF BEING A WALLFLOWER have replaced my initial fascination with CATCHER. Still, my memory of actually enjoying a high school reading requirement – and discovering their were books out there I could enjoy, is not something I’ll ever dismiss. And of course, that title and author have been a huge part of my own writing journey. If I can capture a smidgen of Holden's appeal and magic in my own protagonist, I'll feel like a winner.<br /><br />I have wanted to read NIGHT for years. It’s been staring at me from my bookshelf since 2006. I think it’s time I cracked the cover.Paul Josephhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07219724579550337686noreply@blogger.com
