Have you read any Salinger books besides Catcher in The Rye? Anonymous Wed Jan 18 20:05:13 2017 No.8992540 [Reply] [Original]

I've read Franny and Zooey and Nine Stories. They are breddy gud.

>>	Anonymous Wed Jan 18 20:08:06 2017 No.8992551 I've only read Franny and Zooey and I thought it was fantastic. I'm nervous about the quality of Catcher so I think Nine Stories will be the next work I tackle of his.

>>	Anonymous Wed Jan 18 20:16:10 2017 No.8992577 Read For Esme (Nine stories) and it's very good.

>>	Anonymous Thu Jan 19 01:27:14 2017 No.8993638 >>8992540 I've read all his stuff.

>>	Anonymous Thu Jan 19 01:38:57 2017 No.8993700 Honestly Catcher is so shit so when I was worried about reading Franny and Zooey, but it was pretty good. I really liked Zooey's character. Not sure it sold me on Salinger enough to read that much more of his work

>>	Anonymous Thu Jan 19 01:40:44 2017 No.8993712 Franny and Zooey is a bit too preachy and melodramatic at times in my opinion. His short stories are fantastic, he is great at dialogue and he has a very comfortable aesthetic.

>>	Anonymous Thu Jan 19 01:48:59 2017 No.8993754 you've gotta read seymour: an introduction really, you've gotta read the whole glass family cycle, but i especially love seymour franny and zooey is gr8 too

The people who hate on Catcher hate on Holden Caulfield and dont appreciate the book for what it is. I read Catcher too late to identify with Holden but I could still recognize the talent that went into it.

Also, Ive read nine stories and loved it. Its a shame he quit as Salinger could have been a monster in the book industry
