Franny and Zooey by J.D. Salinger

I can relate to the pretense theme in the book but not a lot more.  Some say that there is a theme of family love but if that is the case I don't want this relationship with my family.  I don't ever want to be this rude or crude.  There is a conversation about religion all through this book that is very confusing.  It is a mix of eastern and western thinking.   You have to really dig even to determine what is being talked about it is so unclear.   If intensions and teachings are so unclear it is not a wonder the characters are struggling with life.  Too many mixed ideas with no clear understanding or position.   This work is just not my 'cup of tea'.   You can't find peace in life without a clear understanding of who you are, who you want to become and where you are going.
