Don't worry, Ari, I hated Catcher in the Rye, too. I just didn't "get" it. It's slice-of-life shit, the book equivalent of mumble-core.
And I think you should send all of that to her. If she asked about books, that means that's important to her. But leave something to talk about, so maybe not.
I really need to re-read Catch-22. I reference it so often, I think it's become a different thing, like "Peter's view of Catch-22", rather than the actual book.
