oh, what's the best? i've heard some say this is the best...though they also say The Catcher in the Rye isn't really good at all...i read it a long time ago (though i'm sure it would have been better much longer ago than that when i was in high school or something...how i also felt about A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man, but i digress...) and i liked it okay but was a little underwhelmed by it...of course, i barely remember much of it now...anyway...

nine stories, right? thinking now, i have no idea why i didn't pick that one out instead. it baffles me. what was i thinking?!

Yeah, I think "A Perfect Day for Bananafish" is one of the best short stories ever written. F&Z is still great though. Not a bad choice at all...
