Jen: I tried 'Atlas Shrugged' after Fountainhead - uh, no.  I don't 
even remember the premise now.

Along the same lines, I went through a Salinger stage in high school 
and 'Catcher in the Rye' was my least favorite of the four I read.  
Othrs were Franny and Zooey (favorite), 'Raise High the Roof Beam and 
Seymour: An Introduction' and 'Nine Stories'.  Is it the coming of age 
aspect of Catcher that fascinates?  The anti-hero protagonist?  I found 
Franny's coming of age in 'Franny and Zooey' much more appealing and 
memorable over whatshisname's angst in Catcher.  Am I in the minority - 
did others love Catcher??
