The Laughing Man: When I started reading this story, I got stuck on the metro for 40 minutes with a girl I went to high school with and was trying to read it to distract myself from the growing crowd in the metro car but it was so dull and i just gave in and started talking to the girl. When I took it back up again last week it was way more engaging and kind of fascinating as a lesser work of Salinger.

This was supposed to be a quick re-read to cap off 2023 but it's now bled into this year and I'm not going to keep doing the story-by-story reviews. This will be picked up any time I get tired from school readings. ("For Esmé -- With Love and Squalor" is excellent though, of course) I'm in the middle of "Pretty Mouth and Green My Eyes."

A Perfect Day for Bananafish: Quintessential Salinger, his influence on my writing style is crazy. Morbid as hell.
