!bookworms I wanted initially to post this thread next week, but decided to go ahead now, so the first voting Thread will be next week. I'll pick every single suggestion posted until Tomorrow 20:00 E.T and post them for voting, then select the 5 most upmarseyd choices.
Faust reading went poorly unlike Master and Margarita, so chose wisely this time dramatards. We'll have several threads eliminating every single nominated until we reach a winner and start the next reading sometime in October.

That's the prime example of a book that is worse for every year after 15 you read it.

I feel like that's the great part people miss, that you grow out of liking Holden. It's like a test of if you grew out of childhood.
