Oh, that was a zillion years ago! I remember it happening, but pulling up  
the details would be nearly impossible. Here's the little I do remember. 
 
The first time I tried to read Stranger, I was in college, so probably 18  or 
19 years old. It was a small, conservative Christian college; I had a lot  of 
fundamentalist influence around me. Somewhere in the middle of the book, I  
had to put it away and stop reading because I was so disturbed at the  
religious implications. It shook my world. 
 
I think this was the first time I ever quit reading a fiction book  in the 
middle. It was several years before I went back to the book and read it  cover 
to cover. 



Needless to say, I've come a long way since then.
