Has anyone read books written by him? What do you think about them?

I have read Catcher in the rye, Franny & Zooey and Nine stories. I like them all, but I think I have to read Franny & Zooey again because the translation I read was terrible.. Maybe I'll understand it better with a better translation.

I read Nine Stories. He's a good writer, if a bit disturbing at times. In one of the stories the main character commits suicide, for example. I read Catcher in the Rye a long time ago and don't really remember it.

I love J. D. Salinger, though i have heard some pretty weird things about Criminals, and his books.

I liked The Catcher in the Rye. I found Holden's story and personality very interesting, but I disliked the extraneous cursing.
