Since when is the quality of a book only based on what "mature adults" think of it? Yes we get it, old crusty dudes don't like it anymore and if you did like it, it was only because you were an immature fuckwad who wasn't exposed to "better" books.

My argument was that it sets kids up to expect that sort of bullshit out of every book they read thence. Catcher doesn't suck just because it sucks, but because it fosters further suck.
