It does give you a picture of the state of the world after WWII and the perceived threat of Communism at the time.
I do remember reading The Catcher in the Rye and Lord of the Flies at school. Does anyone know if they are available as ebooks ?

I am sure
Catcher in the Rye is available somewhere... not so sure about
Lord of the Flies. Check out The Gutenberg Project... there is the main one,
http://www.gutenberg.org/wiki/Main_Page and the Australian one,
http://gutenberg.net.au/ .
I, too, read
Lord of the Flies at school. Hated it. Also hated
My Brother Jack. On the other hand, loved
The Great Gatsby.
