ObSalinger:  I FINALLY FINISHED F&Z!  I have to admit that is was one of
the slowest readings I've come across, but it made me think like a lot of
the books I've read recently have failed to do.  I agree with the comment
that somebody made about a whiff of pregnancy in the first few pages and
then ignoring the rest of the book...I feel the same way towards the idea
of Franny being pregnant.

Non-Salinger:

I've been up since noon yesterday...goodnight, folks.

na na na boo boo to you, too, John.

p.s.  wouldn't bethel have been a better choice?

p.p.s....you know how in F&Z they discuss their images of the Fat Lady?  We
have a woman in my hometown who I instantly thought of...she sits on the
front stoop of her apartment building all day long, never moves even an
inch.  I saw her jay-walking across the street once...I came to a complete
stop and just stared in amazement, as it was the first time I'd ever seen
her move.  That and she was moving so slowly that if I hadn't slowed down I
surely would have hit her.
