I have, finally read it this year. It's good, but I took too long to read it. I've read loads of books inspired by it and so it seems a bit tame and dated now, but it is well written and has an odd charm. |

It's good. Possibly overrated, but I enjoyed it a lot. |

I like it too. This, after American Psycho, made me read like I watch films. After that, maybe you should read William Burrough's Junky. I also like Laurence Sterne, Flannery O'Connor and Fyodor Dostoyevsky. Has anyone read JT Leroy? That's sort of shit. I read lots of books now. It really helped my head, in a sense. It's sort of clearer and before reading I was urinating in bottles and things, like Howard Hughes, but in a different way. Anyway, reading is good. I reccomend it. |

i've read it twice in the last 2 years, it's probably my favourite book, but that's coming from someone who hardly ever reads. but yeah, there're few books i've read that i'll read again, but this is one of them. |

One book I kept thinking of when I was reading this was The Wasp Factory, similar mood or something. Check that out too. |

Actually it's about this awkward but lovable oddball teenager who gets kicked out of his fancy prep school and goes wandering around NYC having goofy times on his way home, revealing more through his ideas and actions than he's aware of, kinda. It's such a cool book! The details will stick with you forever, like Maurice the pimp and the perverted couple with highball glasses and the goldfish from central park and the Lunts... |

talking about it, i would like to read it again, but i lent my copy (which my brother stole from the school) to a friend, who left to another school, and now i haven't got it anymore! the ending is one of the only endings that has ever made me cry. stuff like that (movies and books) never make me cry, but this one did. |

Tony Danza's character is Who's The Boss was based on Holden Caulfield, I heard the Danz say in an interview once. I once saw this segment on Jay Leno, this guy went to a red carpet screening and got all the celebrities to sign Shaq's shoes for charity. They started on the first shoe, George Clooney signed it, all these celebrities and they all did it nice and were fine with it. Then that shoe was filled with autographs so the guy put it down and asked the next slew of celebrities to sign the other shoe. He pulls this clean shoe up, no autographs on this one yet, and Tony Danza goes, "What?" and starts laughing like this guy's making a joke, and Danza looks at the shoe with utter contempt and says, "I'm not signin' a damn shoe" and just walked off. |
