Donald Robertson

Reading Catcher in the Rye is always hard because you fly through it so fast and are always hungry for more. Discovering Franny and Zooey when I was a kid was like finding a half-eaten birthday cake in the back of the fridge. Every morsel was delicious, mostly because I was starving for more Salinger.

This book surprised me. I didn’t see it coming. And yet it wasn’t trying to trick me; it made me feel like a welcomed fly on the wall.

This book never fails to intrigue me and touch me to my core. The characters, the philosophies, theories and life lessons are abundant and stunningly simple, too. And the best gift literature could have given us actors is the concept of doing it “for the fat lady.”

Salinger is another author that made a huge impression on me when I was young. Every time you turn the page you find out that each family member is more screwed up than the last. I keep hoping that there are some more Salinger books coming when his estate is settled???
