Franny and Zooey

Since I've been home from SPU, I have been bombarded by book recommendations, some from friends, some from mentors, and some that seem to just circulate in the world of well-known, good books. I have so far purchased The Great Gatsby, A Severe Mercy by Sheldon Vanaken, all three volumes of Jon Courson's Application Commentary, and finally Franny and Zooey by J.D. Salinger. I have made my way halfway through A Severe Mercy, and it's quite a good read, but I opened up Franny and Zooey this morning, and I have a feeling I will finish it first--I just LOVE it! The writing style of Salinger provokes in me the same gitty whit that Hemingway's works do. I'm only on page 35, so I can't say I appreciate it as a whole yet, but thus far, I am pleasantly delighted with it.

And as a disclaimer, all the books I've purchased--minus the Bible commentaries--were bought used, at very low prices. These low prices were my excuse for such impulsive buys.
