Bikkuri, we’ll get to work on perfecting our oatmeal raisin cookies! As for Catcher in the Rye, I didn’t have to read it until I was in college and took a young adult literature class.

Not sure why someone thought this would be a good place to ask for Dutch translation help. It seems like they are just trying to farm email addresses.

I am here to study up for my answers to the questions, since I was tagged by Sylvia. Getting the creative juices flowing. On overestimated books, I was going to say “anything that every school kid in America had to read in the 70s.” Catcher in the Rye falls in that category, but somehow I escaped that requirement. I have never heard anything about it that made me want to read it; even though I am male. I think teachers liked assigning us books merely because they had been banned. While ‘banned’ does not equal ‘bad’, the converse is not true either: ‘banned’ does not equal ‘good’.
