yeah, i'm not completely opposed to salinger, just that book in general. i will check out franny and zooey, though. thanks!
i just don't get the appeal of catcher in the rye. i read it at ages 14, 16, and 17, and each time it came across as "BAWWWWWWWWW PHONYPHONYPHONY GODDAMNIT PHONY BAWWWW WHINE!" as far as "coming-of-age" novels go, i'll take ham on rye over that piece of shit any day of the week.
