“People never notice anything” (9) states Holden Caulfield, the protagonist of J.D. Salinger’s The Catcher in the Rye. The story is a monologue of Caulfield’s existence in a privileged society filled with “phonies” during the 1950s in New York City. Caulfield’s parents send him away to boarding school, which does not alter his cynical attitude towards life and prompts him to be extremely apathetic and fail out of multiple schools until he lands at Pencey Prep, where the story begins. The reader discovers that Caulfield is actually very troubled because of the death of his younger brother, which affects his attitude towards life causing him to disregard a life of affluence and conclude that it is empty, providing no comfort, as many believe money can. At one point in the story, Caulfield expresses that money, “…always ends up making you blue as hell” (133). After being expelled from Pencey Prep, for failing every class except English, he decides to venture into New York City before the letter detailing his expulsion reaches his parents. Caulfield embarks on a journey in search of what is missing in his life and what will ease his depressed state. Masking his feelings behind sarcasm and witty banter, Caulfield reaches desperation, as he stays awake night and day, drowning in his own misery while in search of what will make his life better.
This novel is brilliantly composed by Salinger, who examines the life of a teenager who feels lost and trapped inside an empty world. Whether it is his compulsive spending, apathy towards school, or even confusion with the opposite sex, Caulfield is a character that is so real, the reader feels as if he is a troubled friend who is in need of help. Because of his character and the conflicts he faces, Caulfield makes The Catcher in the Rye a timeless masterpiece. In an increasingly material world, the troubles of money and the search for what will bring true happiness is a more relevant theme than ever. Adolescents will always fin

I remember reading “Catcher In The Rye” in a high school literature class. I was always awed by the story of Holden Caufield…literature’s most famous juvenile delinquent. And reading it is the only way you can appreciate the late JD Salinger’s work, since he NEVER will allow his books to be made into movies…even posthumously.

This book should be a disgrace to Evangelical Christians. Wouldn’t hurt for others to be offended also. It is so unBiblical in it’s answers.
Shame on Oprah.

We bought this vac two years ago, primarily based upon the Consumer Report review at the time. We needed a vac at a second location and didn’t want to cart our cannister vac back and forth from home.
I must start off by saying the noise is deafening. My wife says I have a hearing issue (OK, I do) but I can surely hear this machine running! Sounds like a jet taking off . . . no, several jets.
I could live with the noise but the real problem is that it really sucks. No, I mean that in a purely vac sense. I don’t know why other purchasers have said there’s no suction with this unit. Ours will almost lift the wood flooring up! On carpets, even with the setting at the highest level away from the floor underneath, the unit will pull itself down (on installed carpeting) or pull the carpet up (for throw-rugs) to essentially stop the brushes and create a firm grasp on what’s below. You will need to either shut off the unit or try and lever the head section up to free it from the carpet.
As cited by others, the hose is exceptionally short and you will have some difficulty in reaching things you want to vac with the limited attachments included.
Well, hope this helps in your decision. As I said, ours is two years old and we do have the headlight and the bag-fill indicator. No big deal with either in my opinion.

I am writing this entry after just receiving notice that the author of this book, J.D. Salinger, has just passed away at 91. I am living proof, although I am sure no alone on this account , that the teenage angst that preppie Holden Caulfield, the narrator of “Catcher In The Rye”, was caught up in his immediate post-World War II generation was contagious all the way down at the bottom of society to housing project kids like me later on. Needless to say this high school assigned-reading was one of those books that I devoured at one sitting, if I recall correctly. But here is a better perspective on the book. Some books you read once and move on. Others you read, re-read and live out, including on a trip to New York a stay at the old Taft Hotel. How is that for having a more than a literary effect on the reader. Only Jack Kerouac’s “On The Road” had more. So long, J.D.
Mary Montague Sikes clearly shows her love and understanding of Jamaica and its culture in _Hearts Across Forever_. A riveting paranormal romance, the book also delves into the fascinating world of Obeah, Jamaican voodoo. Set against this complex backdrop, the romance of Kathryn Calder and Flynt Kincaid, both New York executives, unfolds. The reader feels compelled to keep turning the pages to discover the connection between Kathryn and her mysterious visions of Rose Hall…and how does Flynt fit into it all? This reader devoutly hopes that Sikes will continue to write such engaging books, and that she will consider creating one about Aimee White and Rose Hall Plantation as it was.
