I haven't read Catcher in the Rye, but those other two were pretty good... and I rather thought you'd like Nicholas and the slightly-less-dead Ari. :) I think I picked up Kim at a used bookstore someplace, and Oliver Twist was a gift from someone who thought I'd like it (up to a point I did, and I'll probably finish reading it at some point; I just got fed up with Dickens for screwing with his characters to make a point, which is somewhat silly, since that's entirely his writing style.) But they should both be "classic" enough to be at the library if the need arises, and I would think you'd appreciate Kim at least.
Heh, commissions... I keep thinking about trying to make/sell stuff, and then not having time enough do do all the things *I* want to do. If I spent less time exchanging useless information with the internet, that might help, too.
