I used Hellblazer1138’s upload here ( as my source to create this chapterized M4B with proper metadata, so make sure to thank him! This is Ray Hagen’s narration of “The Catcher in the Rye” done for the Library of Congress. It’s the re-recorded version that eliminates audio slowdowns and missing sections. This copy has significantly better audio than my previous upload, so I’ve gone ahead and deleted that.
