A great collection if you appreciate Salinger's writing. It's his typical style - just telling you what's going on, giving you just enough detail to visually see it. One story, in particular, sticks with me. "A Good Day for Bananafish" - at first, I took it for what it was; then, I realized there was a much, much deeper meaning to his words. And that caused me to re-evaluate the other eight stories. Recommended if you enjoyed _Catcher in the Rye_.
