The greatest book of all time, or the greatest book of all time?

>> No.1645353

Only phonies go out and tell people they think this is the greatest book of all time. Real fans will keep it to themselves, or even lie and say "it sucked" so that less people will get to salvage the treasure that is this book.

Nah, I'm just kidding. It sucked."

Seymour: An Introduction

He's more of a short story writer and less of a novelist.

Catcher was boring, Nine Stories was good, RHTRBCASIA was good, Franny and Zooey was very good. I don't understand why people only read the one bad book he wrote.

Because it's easy for High School teachers to assign to students and grade Essays on. Other than that, there's no reason for anybody to be forced to read that garbage. I enjoyed reading it though.
