Status Updates From Franny und Zooey

"I feel certain that somewhere very near here - the first house down the road, maybe - there’s a good poet dying, but also somewhere very near here somebody’s having a hilarious pint of pus taken from her lovely young body, and I can’t be running back and forth forever between grief and high delight." (62)

The scene between Zooey and Mrs glass is what i imagine conversations between my dad and grandma were like

“And though we’ve talked and talked and talked, we’ve all agreed to not say a word.”

I feel akin to franny

"Everything everybody does is so - I don’t know - not wrong or even mean, or even stupid necessarily. But just so tiny and meaningless and - sad-making. And the worst part is, if you go bohemian or something like that, you’re conforming just as much as everybody else, only in a different way." (26)

i can just feel franny's irritation through the page she's so amazing
