Before Gen X ever questioned sermons, we were assigned novels about hypocrisy, authoritarianism, absurdity, and institutional failure. In this episode of The Mighty Philbert, we explore how required reading in junior high and high school quietly shaped the skeptical lens that many of us carried into adulthood—and into our eventual departure from organized religion.

Books covered:
The Catcher in the Rye
1984
The Outsiders
Slaughterhouse-Five
Generation X

Part 1 of a two-part series in the “Why Gen X Walked Away” arc.
