More like a 4.75 but wow!! I will definitely be rereading this to annotate and analyze further once I get my own copy. Haven’t read Catcher in the Rye in a while but I think it’s safe to say this is my favorite Salinger so far.

sinewy: muscular
prostrate: in a kind of prayer position
equably/placidly: calmly
abject: (of something bad) to the max. degree
seer: someone who foresees future events; a prophet.
rancour (or rancor, as Salinger spells it): bitterness
Do it for the Fat Lady.
