Opening Sentence of the Day: Franny and Zooey

"Though brilliantly sunny, Saturday morning was overcoat weather again, not just topcoat weather, as it had been all week and as everyone had hoped it would stay for the big weekend -- the weekend of the Yale game." -- Franny and Zooey, J.D. Salinger. I'm in. It hooked me.

  1. I read this when I was in middle school and high school and while I don't remember too much about the book, I remember loving it.

  2. I loved Franny and Zooey and Raise High The Roof Beams Carpenter. But I read them 30 years ago and waited ever since for more books about them, silly me. Have fun with it. I look forward to your review.
