It took me a few readings of Catcher in the Rye for it to really grow on me, but now I really appreciate it. Haven't read his other works.
My sons LOVED Fahrenheit 451. Somehow I got through my entire educational and teacher career without ever reading it. I need to though apparently.
Read The Jungle in high school. Wasn't a big fan.
Books others love that didn't do much for me:
Huckleberry Finn
As I Lay Dying
Animal Farm
A Portrait of an Artist as a Young Man
Julius Caesar
Death of a Salesman
Wicked
Grapes of Wrath
Lord of the Flies
