Default When tinfoil hats aren't enough-- Holden Caulfield and The Catcher in the Rye.

How many TOTVers have a copy of The Catcher in the Rye in their library?? Holden Caulfield - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Catcher_in_the_Rye

This book supposedly turns up in a lot in the thinking of various crackpots-- John Hinckley, Jr. and Mark David Chapman, for instance. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_David_Chapman. It also shows up in the Mel Gibson/Julia Roberts movie Conspiracy Theory. Of course, so many people have read this book that the same argument probably could be made of other books that show up in any crackpot's library and thinking like Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet.

No. I do not have a copy of this book in my own library. Do have Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet though. Probably three or four copies in various books.
