Still missing


21. J. D. Salinger "Nine Stories"
I know I'm supposed to like Salinger, but I don't. I'm sorry. I don't know if this will ever change. I've tried for years and the older I get, the less I care. I do understand why people, specifically teenagers, love the guy. I just don't think I'll ever be part of the fan club.

It shouldn't take three months to finish a book that's under 200 pages.

If you're trying to seem deep to a high school junior, carry around this book in your back pocket.
