In general, they all have an outsider in them, or someone who is unique!. Obviously, Salinger's Holden Caulfield is the ultimate misunderstood outsider teen, and Fitzgerald's Gatsby was always trying to fit into a certain world!. On the Road is about Kerouac's "against the grain" ways, and then in Hamlet, everyone thinks he's crazy!. You can go through this for all the works listed in some way :)Www@QuestionHome@Com

They're all great classic novels!. They're those books you were assigned in high school and actually liked!. I know I did!. I haven't read all but I have read about half!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
