Nine Stories by J.D. Salinger
4.0

Many of my friends recommend "Nine Stories" as the best way to truly understand Salinger. We are talking about nine short stories, each with its own style, theme and characters. What I really love about Salinger is the "ambiguity".

We always have enough room to interpret his stories. This is what makes us feel close to the stories. Salinger reached a kind of intimacy with the reader that many writers still struggle to reach.

The only way to understand Salinger is reading. And reading Salinger is as important as learning Math.
