Published in 1951, "The Catcher in the Rye" was originally meant for adults, but soon became a symbol of teenage angst and rebellion. It is found on lists of banned books time and again, for reasons ranging from use of foul language to inciting of violence. Nevertheless, its popularity has not decreased over the decades, and it is now considered a modern classic.
