    He's one of my faves, and a master craftsman, IMO. Catcher is full of symbolism, and if you read it only literally, you miss so much of its intended impact. His other collected work is similarly...

    Depends on the quality of the narration. For me, if they're done well, they're easy to follow, if not, then not.

    For me, there has to be SOME point to a story, some reason why the writer is demanding my time to listen to his tale. What that is is less important than that it be there. AHWOSG, for example, is...

    I would agree with mayneverhave and Desolation. It doesn't matter what D's personal beliefs were. Judge the work on its own merits, as its own world. Leave the Creator out of his Creation.
