A vaguely teenage-looking patron asks for a book suggestion. You ask her if she can think of a book that she has particularly enjoyed.
She says, “Yes. Catcher In The Rye is the best book I’ve ever read.”
You ask her what about Catcher In The Rye she appealed to her.
She has probably been in an English literature class because she responds that she enjoyed the “first-person narrative from a teenager’s point of view.” Also, Holden was sarcastic and rebellious and depressed and alienated and that seemed very realistic to her.
Can you recommend two books that might appeal to this patron and why you think they might fit the bill.
Thanks.
