One of the major themes in The Catcher in the Rye is Holden's inability to relate to other people (and vice versa) throughout the book, so naturally people who also struggle with this problem in their lives seek refuge through Holen. They connect with the book on a very emotional level, which is why them seem so "obsessed" with the book; it's symbolic of themselves.
