he has already read most of Salinger's books. Maybe a book by a different author that's similar to Salinger? I don't read much, so that's why I'm asking

Haven't read anything by him, but John Cheever is supposed to be similar to Salinger (albeit a bit gay).

He was tremendously influential on the New Yorker style so basically any author who wrote for New Yorker or the New Yorker itself

In the slightest. Cheever is like a worse Carver.

I'd recommend The Razor's Edge by Sommerset Maugham.

I guess it depends on what he likes about him. The writing style or the themes he deals with?

Missed that, I was just using ctrl+f for Phoebe. I both love and hate this meme, because it doesn't actually happen, but I admire the persistence of the anon(s) who usually post it.

Oh but he does, you just aren't penetrating the text as it lays there on your big brother's bed, arse in the air, trying to hide from her father in that bed for security.

You've read the argument in the archive as transcribed to the /lit/ magazine? And you're not convinced? You must fail to penetrate the text with that depth of reading. Even asian texts are disappointed in you.
