J.D. Salinger - "Raise high the roof beam, carpenters"

I kind of liked the story, but feel I should like it more than I did. Reading was erratic, bits and pieces here and there. Did it shatter in my mind?

Should reread it after a couple of months. In one go.

J.D. Salinger - "Fanny & Zooey" (half-finished)

Only read "Fanny", couldn't finish "Zooey", which is a separate story but writes to the Fanny character.

Amazing how he can set a mood by describing how people act, react and think.

Quite explicit at times; sometimes he seems to forego the "show don't tell" completely, but on a deeper level there's so much more (which is not "shown" directly).
