Raise High the Roof Beam, Carpenters and Seymour: An Introduction

J.D. Salinger

Back Bay Books, 2001

Advanced Readings in Salinger's Glass family.
When I was in college, I read this book like it was the Bible. Published after his better-known novels, The Catcher in the Rye (1951) and Franny and Zooey (1961), Raise High the Roof Beam, Carpenters and Seymour: An Introduction (1963) is a study in Salinger's ...

The Catcher in the Rye

J.D. Salinger

Bantam, 1966

A timeless classic worth reading
I write this review having to look back almost 20 years when I read this book as a child. At an age when I found it difficult to engross myself in fiction (I simply did not read a lot as a child), I traversed through this book with interest. Unless you have ...

Nine Stories

J.D. Salinger

Back Bay Books, 2001

Salinger Hits Nine Home Runs.
Published after The Catcher in the Rye (1951), Nine Stories is quintessential Salinger. Having first read Salinger's collection of Nine Stories as a college student, these short stories have remained in my thoughts for years. "A Perfect Day for Bananafish" (first ...

Franny and Zooey

J.D. Salinger

Back Bay Books, 2001

A Glass Family Masterpiece
I guess I can start by saying that I had read Franny and Zooey only one time, when I was in high school decades ago (during the Nixon and Ford administrations) along with "A Perfect Day for Bananafish" from Nine Stories. I hadn't read either of them since, so I had a ...

The Catcher in the Rye

J.D. Salinger

Back Bay Books, 2001

my favorite book ever
Holden Caufield is possibly my favorite fictional character. Or should I say, he's the one I could most relate to. If you've ever been depressed and lonely, you can relate to Holden. If you're cynical, you can relate to Holden. Some would call him a bitter ...

The Catcher in the Rye

J. D Salinger

Little, Brown and Company, 1951

I'm in Love with Holden Caulfield (and J.D. Salinger)
To give "The Catcher in the Rye" 5 stars is like giving "The Complete Works of William Shakespeare" 5 stars. I'm not kidding. I read "The Catcher in the Rye" in the 8th grade. And, okay, I was a little bit more than entranced by the (shocking!) use of profanity. ...

The Catcher in the Rye [Audiobook] [Cd]
J. D. Salinger, 2006

Unabridged on six compact disks. Holden Caulfield, knowing he is to be expelled from school, decides to leave early. He spends three days in New York City and tells the story of what he did and suffered there.

Catcher in the Rye (Barron's Book Notes)

J.D. Salinger

Barron's Educational Series, 1984

An amazing glimpse into mental illness
I read this book at 16 because a teacher told me I would relate to the main character. This was soon after I had been diagnosed with manic-depressive illness. I am now 21 and have read the book several times and the more I experience and live through the symptons of ...

El guardian entre el centeno (COLECCION LITERATURA) (Literatura/ Literature)

J. D. Salinger

Alianza, 2006

Detrás del guardián
En vista de que no publicaron mi resumen en inglés, les doy uno en mi "native language". EL Guardián entre el Centeno, es una obra qe no se puede leer a la ligera, pues el gran contenido espiritual que guarda tras el gracioso, irónico y cínico Holden Caulfield es más ...

Franny and Zooey
J. D. Salinger

Bantam, 1973

For Esme - With Love and Squalor

J. D. Salinger

Penguin Books, 1998

'For Esme with Love and Squalor'
For 'Esme with Love and Squalor' is one of Salinger's best stories. It also appears in his first collection of stories called 'Nine Stories.' It tells the story of an American G.I. who for one part of the story is in Devon England where he is in training. On one ...
