Raise High the Roof Beam, Carpenters was pretty alright, but Seymour, an Introduction annoys me to no end. While Salinger is a good stylist, I am unfortunately over 30 and am thus impervious to his navel-gazing. A shame, since I remember liking The Catcher in the Rye, but maybe Franny and Zooey is a better read?

Raise High the Roof Beam, Carpenters was pretty alright, but boy howdy does Seymour, an Introduction suck ass. I'm around 40% of the way through it and man is it masturbatory. My patience for loser authors grows thinner every page I read. Sorry to the Salinger lovers out there! I'm in my 30s now.
