Krista, I'm going to advise you just the opposite of my fellow Bananafishers. First reread "A Perfect Day for Bananafish," Then read RHTRBC, taking an extraordinary amount of time to digest Seymour: An Introduction. Then go to F&Z. You'll thank me later. And I bet F&Z turns out to be your favorite JDS book. Cheers. -- mark >Hello. I just received the books F&Z and RHTRBC for Christmas from a friend >of mine.
