Pretty much any book that can be described fully in a few sentences is not worth reading. Here’ what “Book-A-Minute Classics” Website had to say about Catcher in the Rye:
Holden Caulfield Angst angst angst swear curse swear crazy crazy angst swear curse, society sucks, and I’m a stupid jerk. THE END
And just for fun, here’s their summary of The Jungle:
Bad things happen. Worse things happen. Better things happen. Awful things happen. Jurgis discovers socialism and gets all happy. THE END

Most commenting systems keep their moderators honest by giving
them the power only to delete comments. The way mine works is that
I’m able to edit comments, but I only will for two reasons: to fix
glitchy formatting, or to change references to names of those who
don’t want to be identified, including me. If you believe your
comment has been edited and want to make sure it’s on the up-and-up,
you can always click the link next to its timestamp that says
“History” (mouse over to make this appear) and look at its history,
which I can’t tamper with. (Less)

HistoryAmen! Ms. Poll asked us to write a letter to her about our thoughts on the book, and I wrote the exact same thing. Great minds think alike…
