“Nine Stories” by J.D. Salinger

Nine stories, revealing the mystery of a family of Glass. Nine unrelated pieces. We learn of the death of Seymour, about how best to catch fish-bananafish and so on and so forth. Now I can confidently say “I read all the works of JD Salinger!” Although I have heard that there are still 12 stories. I must find somewhere … The stories are not great, but the meaning is not immediately captured. Sometimes you have to reread some of the stories to better understand the author’s idea. Here it differs from the modern classical prose. Modern – she popcorn. Melts on the tongue and has no problem going into the stomach. Classics of the same causes jaws to work, masticating. As they say, without work – not even catch the fish from the pond. But it is better, perhaps.

“Franny and Zooey” by Jerome David Salinger

"Franny and Zooey" by Jerome David Salinger

This book I read about six hours of continuous reading, from beginning to end. My issue is not very large format, but it is very thick. Very handy book, and a series of good, framed perfectly. High-quality paper, no typos, colorful covers. Not very crude, but really beautiful.

She is nervous, occasionally leaves the ladies’ room – and hides in a bag strange green book. The atmosphere is warming up – and as a result – a dead faint. Curtain. Continue reading

The reasons for my absence, Spring, and other thoughts. Well, work, where do without her…

Work (Thursday, Friday and Saturday last week)


Thanks to meiko for this photo!

As expected, I’ll start from the beginning. Now, after gone through, it is difficult to remember every detail of those working shifts. I think I made another stupid. Hurried. Opened too early – and was defeated. Of course, I’m talking about love. Although this question is difficult to say when it is “a time”. Although, again, I jumped from topic to topic. I worked three shifts in the shock mode. That’s what I’m working – but I’m still surprised people. I tell them that the passage to the third floor is on the left, they will say “thanks” and go right. I am increasingly convinced that buyers often do not listen to what they say. And the days are very monotonous at times, yes… If nothing happens – then and did not distinguish one from another.
