Tarzan of the Apes by Edgar Rice Burroughs

Just finished Tarzan of the Apes by Edgar Rice Burroughs. This is another classic character that I found out I know very little about. We all think of Tarzan as the Johnny Weissmuller. The "Me Tarzan, you Jane." I found it kinda ridiculous that Tarzan who was I think around 18 having been raised by apes came upon his parents' cabin. He quickly taught himself how to read. Then within a few months he is taught how to speak French. Then he routinely learns to speak English. I don't think that its that easy to pick that up at that age.

Next up is Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger. I'm excited about this. I can only imagine this book is about a baseball team that is struggling with a talented yet troubled catcher. Its been kind of a slow go the past few months but now school is out and I'm expecting to knock out a few in rapid succession.
