Salinger: “What really knocks me out is a book that, when you’re all done reading it, you wish the author that wrote it was a terrific friend of yours and you could call him up on the phone whenever you felt like it. That doesn’t happen much, though. I wouldn’t mind calling this David Copperfield up. I wish he was my brother. I laughed all the way through it. It’s really funny. It’s sort of funny. It’s funny, but not funny. It’s partly funny. It’s funny, but it’s also very serious and all. It’s not the kind of a book you could put down, anyway. I read it right straight through. Do you know what I mean? It’s one of those books that if you started reading it, you wouldn’t stop till you’d finished it, if you were hungry or sleepy or whatever. You don’t feel like sleeping for a week afterwards. It’s that kind of a book. You don’t feel like doing anything afterwards. You don’t feel like having any fun. You don’t feel like going to a show.
