My list differs:
Nine Stories
Franny and Zooey
Catcher in the Rye
RHTRBCASAI

Sorry. RHTRBCASAI was not better than Catcher. Hate to break it to you. RHTRBCASAI kind of sucked.

Woops. Meant to put Franny and Zooey above Nine Stories

>> No.1805139

ranking books is so retarded, its like ranking body parts, books are all different symptoms of the authors life

>> No.1805181

>>1804737

At least tripfags who insult and troll people do it with a tripcode, so you know who they are. Must be hard annoying people while being Anonymous.

As for RHTRBCASAI, it's an alright book. Raise High... is a good story, it's just Seymour that sucks hard, very hard. Anyway, how do you know I just didn't hate Catcher?

The ones closer to "worst" are by no means bad, but they're just kind of... not as rich as the others, I feel.

That initialism is a little unwieldy. Can we just use "Seymour" or something?

Uhhhh are you fucking with me? I am well aware that they are two separate stories. However, they form a single collection, and that collection is what people are referring to when they type "RHTRBCASAI." You will also notice that nobody is ranking the stories separately, but rather as one collection. So... yeah, you're an idiot.
