I thought Catcher in the rye was a load of bollocks.

 

[Dave Davenport]

How was that for considered literary crictism?

At least Karouac inspired a great song by Ten Thousand Maniacs.

And by Tom Waits. Here performed by The Low Anthem.

It took its place in my bookstash with Portnoys Complaint and Last Exit to Brooklyn...

Last Exit and Requiem For A Dream by Hubert Selby jr piss all over Catcher from a great height. Just my opinion.

And by Tom Waits. Here performed by The Low Anthem.

Oh My God Charlie Darwin is a brilliant album, I assume you've got that.
