When I use System.in.read to re trieve int values
from the keyboard I seem to be getting the ASCII
value of the integer, and can't cast it to an int.
What can I do to fix this problem?

Yes, you're getting ASCII values (or rather, ISO-8859-1 values, most likely) of the characters entered by the user. You can convert the user input into a single String by wrapping System.in in an InputStreamReader, and wrapping that in a BufferedReader (which has a readLine() method). Then you can use Integer.parseInt(String) to convert the String to an int.
