Franny and Zooey and Youngblood Hawke for me. Loved the Salinger, enjoyed but didn't love the Wouk.

Just finished Franny and Zooey and thus COMPLETED my "1001" books category, which seems like just as much of an achievement as completing the challenge itself.

#25 jhedlund I read Franny and Zooey when I was about 17 or 18 and loved it :-) I loved it so much that for a while the names "Franny" and "Zooey" were on my "future baby names" list.. lol. Oddly, now the only thing I really remember about the book is that Zooey was a child genius or ...

I put down A Confederacy of Dunces last week and started Franny and Zooey to complete my "1001 books" category in the 999 challenge. I just wasn't into A Confederacy of Dunces right now, but I know I will ultimately read and like it. I plan to pick it up again next year. Enjoying F&Z in ...

Finished Franny and Zooey (book 20) this morning. I quite liked this book but I can't quite figure out why!

11. Franny And Zooey by J.D. Salinger Didn't care for this one that much--it was about a brother and sister and their religious beliefs. Not really my thing.

Re Franny and Zooey, it's my cousin's favourite book too - between the two of you, I clearly must re-read it some time - I read it and For Esme: With Love and Squalor, ooh, ages ago, after loving Catcher in the Rye, but I have virtually no memory of either strangely... Re renaming books, I ...

#101 I got confused because I thought the non-Catcher in the Rye book I had by Salinger was Franny and Zooey. And I can never understand why books have different titles across the ocean. Your response question 27 makes me want to move it right up the TBR pile. Which I wil. #102 Those ...

So I'll just copy this from my thread: Franny and Zooey. Though 90% of the people I would force to read it would absolutely hate it. This is the reaction I would expect: "Oh but nothing ever happens!!! *moan moan moan whinge moan bitch ineedanexcitingplot bitch moan * " And then I ...

Ooh, fascinating. I love quizzes like this! I will make sure to give Franny and Zooey a go. Regarding question 21, if that's the only Eliot you've read then I suggest you try The Mill on the Floss or Middlemarch. I had to study Silas Marner at school and I hated it (and not just because I ...

It's actually a pretty good anthology. Another book (fiction) that deals with the subject in an oblique fashion is Franny and Zooey.

God, this is gonna sound terrible, but when I'm depressed, I like to read books that make me more depressed. Franny and Zooey, mainly. (Franny, moreso than Zooey.) The Fan Man. Any manic-depressive memoirs - I guess I'm looking for people who understand. And also to project a ...

It's probably too late for me then with Catcher in the Rye. I read Franny and Zooey in high school. My reaction was: "I don't get it."

... everything he writes because I like his style, Catcher is by no means up there with his other books like Nine Stories or Franny and Zooey. However, I do not think he was aiming the book at young adults, for the simple reason that Holden does not think like a young adult.

I'm reading Franny and Zooey by J.D. Salinger!

girlunderglass: I'm somewhat undecided on Franny and Zooey. I certainly don't mind that there's not much action in the story; what bothers me more is that none of the main characters seem like persons of action themselves. I can't help but compare it to The Old Man and the Sea (or any of Hemi ...

#47: I agree, Felicia's Journey was probably a second choice for me after Franny and Zooey. Reminded me a bit of The Collector, which was one of the other "C" books I enjoyed. Both had villains who felt completely justified committing terrible acts, which make them so much more creepy to me. ...

I'll have to go with Franny and Zooey as well. My favorite Salinger book and one of my favorite novels overall. The Glass Family is horribly dysfunctional, yet lovable. I understand that the film The Royal Tenenbaums is based on the Glass family, so if you liked that movie I'm sure you would ...

It's been 43 years since I read Franny And Zooey and I'm now only vaguely haunted by it. Now might be a good time to revisit that youthful angst.

My favourite F book is Franny and Zooey - I love and adore this book.

I read Franny and Zooey as an adolescent and liked it better than The Catcher in the Rye. I read The Agony and the Ecstasy when I was a student in Italy. I haven't read the others, but the movie version of The Reivers has a great musical score.
