I will admit, I have not read anything by Salinger outside of Catcher in the Rye, and that books is one of my absolute favorites, right up there with The Count of Monte Cristo and a bunch of sci-fi books. I've come to realize that sci-fi is our age's philosophy. It allows authors to propose something and explore its through effects through writing. Just recently there was a book where the story revolved around the fact that a device was made so that people would be able to pirate physical things, like medicine, cars, and the like, not just software.

That actually sounds interesting.  I'd agere about Sci-fi books being kinda like philosphy.

I hadn't read a Sallinger book until last week.  Honestly.  I just found the religion his characters tend to have really interesting... cause it's an amalgam of a number of religions, and it's treated as if it's just the normal thing.

The ones i read were "Catcher in the Rye", "9 stories"(collection of short stories" "Franny & Zoey" and "Raise the High Beams/Introducing Seymore."

They're all good.

I didn't read too many classics as a kid because i always ended up just picking random books from the library and ended up with mostly nonfiction stuff like "A wealth of nations", science books and history books...

and Sci-fi books actually.

 

 

If you are into sci-fi I highly suggest City and the End of Eternity, By Simack and Asimov respectively. They will blow your mind.
