Verdict: Franny and Zooey is a nice essay with just enough characterization to make a story.
Reasons for reading it: I thought that Catcher in the Rye was the most overrated piece of absolute junk I'd ever wasted my time on. So I wasn't particularly interested in reading any more Salinger, except that people whose opinions I respect rave about Franny and Zooey, particularly![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-syndicated.gif)

penmage.
How it came into my hands: People were giving away books at the Rosh HaShanah party at the weekend, so I grabbed this.
