Starded reading The Catcher in the Rye and I am lovin’ it. You sense clearly on the first couple of pages that Salinger has invented a new voice back in 1945.  The voice of still feels fresh and strong. 

Update: December 6, 2010. I finally finished reading this 192 page book yesterday. My fall was not a bountiful harvest for literature as you can see from these stats. This is 64 pages per month or two pages a day of reading. Well, it is at least not as pathetic as in high school when we discussed the book in class but I never read it. But I do have a good memory of the book cover. I will write a some observations about this American classic in the next couple of days.
