I've recently read Franny and Zooey, Room With A View, Breakfast at Tiffany's (seen the movie countless times, though never actually read the book), and have started The Sound and the Fury. It's an interesting book, though I haven't gotten my teeth completely into it yet (just finished the Benji part). The nonlinear chronology and italics make it slightly confusing to follow at times, but I'll get used to it :)

Finally finished The Sound and the Fury yesterday! It took a while because of college and whatnot, but it was a great read. Complicated, and very interesting. Looking to start a new book, haven't quite decided what yet...

Yes, Franny and Zooey is definitely an amazing work of literature, one of my favorites. Bananafish was great too.

I mean, Catcher in the Rye is a good, well written work that can appeal to a greater audience than that of Salinger's other works. People can either hate Holden or empathize and see some of themselves in him, whereas not as much his other works. And it's one of his more in depth single works, really getting to the core of Holden, while Seymour is over many short novels and stories. So I can see why Catcher is more popular than his other works, but I don't believe it is his best.
