A perfect day for bananafish by J.D. Salinger

Part of Salinger's Glass Family series (and one of the pieces originally published in the New Yorker that eventually appeared in Nine Stories -- yes, Lisa Loeb's ["Stay (I Missed You)"] backing band was named after the 1953 book). IMO this is where Salinger's debt to Papa Hemingway is laid bare -- the spare, simple prose; the occasional sweary moments (where the protagonist, Seymour, calls a woman he meets a "goddamned sneak"); the somewhat sudden, surprising and macabre ending. I find people typicially have no middle ground for Salinger that isn't "Catcher in the Rye" -- they either love it or loathe it. I'm in the former camp.

j.d. salinger

I think the works of J.D. Salinger (mainly The Catcher in the Rye and Franny and Zooey) are incredible and should be read by everyone for their unique writing and exploration of human nature!! 🙏 The Catcher in the Rye is one of my favorite books ever and I love it so much ❤

Good running shoes

We might be in the golden era of running shoes. Actually we might be on the decline from it on second thought. But the running shoes of today are not the running shoes of 10 years ago. And they’re not the running shoes of four years ago. Let me know if you need help picking a running shoe! Current rotation: • New Balance 1080 v13 for slower longer runs • ASICS Novablast 4 for peppier tempo runs • HOKA Mafate Speed 4 for trail  • New Balance Rebel v4 for something in between
