Franny and Zooey by JD Salinger

Robin Reetz

“Had to include a Salinger on this list. I've read this book more times than I can count and you should, too.”

Dana Mosevics

“Franny and Zooey is about what happens when intelligence, sensitivity and disgust with phoniness become almost unbearable. It is funny, strange and spiritually serious without being sentimental, and Salinger understands the particular loneliness of people who can see through everything but still need something to believe in.”

“the first salinger i’ve read besides catcher in the rye. some will favor one section over the other. exploration of ego, superficiality, religion, knowledge”
