      How many people have you assassinated?

      Did you sign the inside of any of these books?

      I tried to read it, I really did. I have a rule – read the first 10% of the book, and if it doesn’t hook me, I can give up. Catcher in the Rye is the only book I’ve given up on

      I read it. I read the whole damn book. I kept waiting for something to happen. Nothing really did. 1/10

      I think I’m in the minority here, but I read it and thought it was great. Worth a go IMO.
