Catcher in the Rye was a terrible book with an even more terrible protagonist.

Mark David Chapman found it inspirational.   :)
In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace—and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock

Thoreau was not a recluse, and the book is not about living alone in the forest.

Never read it myself.
To sleep, perchance to dream. But in that sleep of death, what dreams may come?

Great writers are never simply creeps. There is always an interesting 'explaination'.
