I've been scavenger hunting today for everything CATCHER. You have read the novel, right? 

If not, read the novel in cartoon format now.   >>>   Cartoon - part 1   | Cartoon - part 2 

J.D. Salinger said he wanted plain covers with no designs or photos because he didn't want someone to pick up his book because of the cover. 

Salinger might have hugged someone over these covers. 


Salinger might have sacked someone over these covers.
 

The following are various pictures and lyrics and mp3s related to the novel, in case any other teacher in the world might ever teach the novel and like some realia (that's a big time teacher word for "other media forms").

If you want to know the truth, Mr. Salinger, your novel isn't quite the phoniest work of art ever written. Thanks for the ride.
