Re: Would you buy books online or from a physical bookstore???

Re: The Catcher in the Rye
I loved this book - im 29 and this wasnt on our reading list at school (UK school) so I was able to take this book at face value. My husband is now reading it and is relating to this also so I dont think its a 'teenager' thing.

Re: Kindle, What Do You Think?
