I always end up laughing at this family's antics. The narators are hilarious even if they're in the middle of a tragedy. Time to go back.

#ThankfulThoughts #siblings Really? Who else would I post?Past Holden & Catcher , J.D. Salinger wrote of the amazing Glass family, parents Les & Bessie plus the kids , Seymour,Buddy,Boo Boo, Walt & Waker , the twins and last but not least,Zooey & Franny.I feel I know them.🙃♥️
pick⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I‘ve been putting off reading this, my last Salinger, for too long. I just didn‘t want to be finished with his books. The Glass Family is so complex and intriguing. The first novella is witty and brilliant and exactly what I hoped for. The second one is a rambling stream of consciousness, but gives much insight into brothers Seymour and Buddy. I‘m a little hungover.
https://www.publishersweekly.com/pw/by-topic/industry-news/publisher-news/articl... Here is article about the release of Salinger‘s books as e-books. Didn‘t have room in the last post, had to vent.🙂
So it‘s happening. Hell has frozen over. Salinger did not want his books to be released as e-books.Matt Salinger, his son and heir has had a change in policy.I have mixed feelings, I mean it‘s a bit like not following someone‘s desires , like when a family decides to bury someone who wanted to be cremated.I‘m overreacting I guess , JD could have specified it in will or trust......and I like that he may find more readers this way...I‘ll stop now.
The only Salinger I‘ve never read.
I grabbed these beautiful #Salinger volumes at #BookAttic. 😍

These, plus whatever else I read on the fly. Will finish my reread of Franny and Zooey in the next couple of days. 💚 Not pictured are the other two books I started last month and will finish soon. Tagged below. 👇🏻
My friend got me this cute bookmark from her trip to Hawaii!
A bookstore wanted to dump this slightly damaged paperback because of a print error on the cover which meant that the letters in relief didn't have ink. I found it to be really beautiful and picked it up. Saving it from certain destruction. I'm actually a Samaritan if you really consider it.
Stuck inside for the day, possibly the weekend. Time to get some reading done! #snowdayreads #classics #fantasy #litsyAtoZ #readingchallenge #letterS
#SomethingforSept Salinger is one of my favorite authors who I haven't read forever. I am forever obsessed with the Glass family. #SeptemeberPhotoChallenge #FaveClassics
pickIn the same way that liking Holden often determines feelings for 'The Catcher In The Rye' l think how you feel about the Glass family plays a big part in how you will feel about these novellas and I find them fascinating! I preferred the first story which had a pretty typical Salinger style though it was also the funniest thing of his I've read. The second is a lot freer which feels intentionally trying at times but I still enjoyed it! Recommend.
Airport reading time!
