On this date in 1951, J.D. Salinger's only novel, Catcher in the Rye, was published.

Oy.
 I finished reading that book a month ago. As much as I liked it, it kills your English skills. Laughs. It really does. It just... Well, I mainly read books to get away from my world and lose myself in the character's world. As I was getting lost (  ) the proper English usage, or lack of it, hurted my head. I remember complaining to Matt about it. It killed my English for at least a week.  But 'twas a good book. It uses the word "Bastard" quite a lot too. Andddd, it was the first time I read the word "sunuvabitch", I never knew how to spell it before. Heck, the book curses all the time. Thank you for that information, however useful.  Edit: Juan, at the beginning of the book I have, it states that J.D Salinger wrote other books. Like: Nine Stories and Franny and Zooey and Raise high the roof beam, carpenters and Seymours: An introduction. So, I'm curious as in what you meant by that? Just curious. You think you know, but you have no idea. |

Oops, just got back to this thread after all these months. The works you cite are short story collections, not novels.
