Valerie,
Though there are no traditional book discussion questions, "Catcher in the
Rye" is featured in volume 1 of "Novels For Students" (Gale). The article
gives author information, plot summary, character analysis, themes (such as
anger, alienation, and courage), style characteristics, historical content
and criticism. Although I haven't used this series for this novel, I have
used information for other book discussions and found loads of good material
to use to formulate questions. You might try it.

I second Vivian's recommendation of this Gale series. It is so helpful for
book discussions that I try it first when I am using likely titles.

In addition to the excellent "Novels for Students"
series, you might try Beachan's Guide to Literature
for Young Adults. It covers Catcher in the Rye in
vol.1 and includes topics for discussion.
