hello everyone! i felt it would be best if i introduced myself this time, for i have previously been on this listserv, but only observed. i, a huge fan of salinger, have only read _catcher_, _franny and zooey_, and _raise high the roofbeam, carpenters_ (i plan to start _seymour: an introduction_ tomorrow) i am a high school student and am very interested in people's opinions on salinger. i was simply curious what everyone's favorite little "tidbit" about any of his books is. one of mine is how mrs. glass in _zooey_ continuously sweeps her ashes off of her lap while chatting with zooey in the bathroom. this may sound very strange, but i feel that ciggarettes play a very important role in salinger's books. well, i guess i'll shut up now! :) ~Sarah~ *************************************************** Sarah's Casa de Fiesta URL-http://members.tripod.com/~cinnimon4
