The catcher in the rye by J. D. Salinger

The ultimate novel for disaffected youth. The story is told by Holden Caulfield, a seventeen- year-old dropout who has just been kicked out of his fourth school. An exploration of teenage alienation. For 20 years it was the most censored book in American schools and libraries. Surprisingly enough, none of us have read this cult classic!
