“And I can't be running back and forth forever between grief and high delight”

While it’s probably best read during the height of teenage angst, Franny and Zooey will forever walk a delicate line as a beach read that might leave you staring blankly at a wall questioning your life for several hours after reading it. Brilliantly funny and occasionally devastating— some of Salingers best work.
