The biggest one I can think of is The Catcher in the Rye. It is a good book, and if someone likes The Catcher in the Rye it means they are well-read. If someone says it is their favorite book then they probably identify with it too much and missed the point.
What are some other examples of this that you know of?
I really don’t see having read Catcher in the Rye as being well read, just young and probably male.
