Why do you say Jane is your favorite female character? I wouldn't pick
her because we really don't have a good grasp on her (only what Holden
describes her as). I haven't read all of Salinger's books but I've read a
number of his short stories, Catcher, and now 9 stories. So far I think
my vote would be for Pheobe. Is that an obvious choice?
