pickBook two completed in my Salinger reread and once again I liked this better now than when I first read it. I understand the nuances of his stories better. As with all short story collections, some stories are better than others. My favorites are Teddy, A Perfect Day for Bananafish and Uncle Wiggily in Connecticut.

Celebrated my sisters birthday last night with a family dinner but before hand I went to Baskin Robbins to pick up an ice cream cake. Of course I had to get a scoop of my favorite summer time flavor, baseball nut, and I took a few cool minutes to enjoy #hyggehourreadathon
pickI recently read a bibliomemoir where the author wrote an essay on Franny Glass which inspired me to reread all of Salinger‘s work for the first time since I read them as a young adult. Book one done. At first I was afraid because I didn‘t want my initial opinion to change but if possible, I love his work even more. The first half, Franny, is the better half but I still enjoyed Zooey even though he‘s a bit of a brat.
#AboutABook #YouFinishedIn1Day a comfort read for me , usually in 1 day . No extra charge for Crosby‘s legs!😊🐱 #CatsOfLitsy
pickOnce I started, I couldn‘t put this book down. I eagerly turned the pages in half anticipation half suspense in following Rakoff‘s job as the assistant to J.D. Salinger‘s agent. When Rakoff shared she‘d never read Salinger‘s work as it never came up in school or interest; I felt connection. As I too have never read his work. 😬 Yet when she describes how moved she was when she did, I‘m tempted to make this year a Salinger reading year. More ⬇️
pickI've kept meaning to read this for years and have finally done so!
I'm still mulling it over, the message contained in such a slim yet dense novel.
pickI finished what should have been my last #storyaday2023 book at my son's hockey practice this morning. It was one of the best collections (if not the absolute best) I read this year. Fingers crossed that I'll catch up and finish today, but I have 12 and a half Akutagawa stories to go...
pickI absolutely love this! Could not stop reading it, reminiscent of The Devil wears Prada in the setting and era.
I've just ordered her other book...
