Just like her, I study English and Italian languages, and I’m sickened to death of everyone in that department. I think I’ve seen my own reflection in Franny (it’s really troubling sometimes when you read your own character in a book). Just like the Catcher in The Rye, which was amusing, yet plot-less to me but it’s impossible not to enjoy it. I remember myself having the exact same conversation, with someone really Lane however, I always admire J.D’s ability of describing teenage and young adults life and their way of speaking, he didn’t miss a thing Moreover, I have to admit my enjoyment in what I call a plot-less story. It was a pain in the ass for me when Lane kept mentioning the weekend, that it’s gonna be horrible, just because Franny seemed off and not in the mood, and then she fainted (I fainted too, when he ordered snails and frog legs, I had to speed up reading). It’s the typical discourse that goes between friends and, I’d like to say ‘enlightened couple’. It had that atmosphere of casual talking, unstoppable one about anything and everything. If anything crossed my mind while reading Franny, it would be The Before Series. It’s divided into two a short story (Franny) and a Novella (Zooey). I have enjoyed every minute of reading it more than its predecessor, The Catcher in The Rye. Franny and Zooey, if it’s anything, it’ll be the most intellectual and engaging novella by J.D.Salinger.
