I like Salinger. He takes an extremely long timeline, breaks off one seemingly insignificant, albeit an interesting, portion and writes a book on it. You get the feeling that a better story could have been written about things that happened before or after the book's story. I know that makes it sound bad, but I actually like a lackluster story, as long as it was meant to be so.
