J. D. Salinger — 3 titles in the rankings, first published between 1951 and 1961. They average 7.7, below the 7.8 the whole catalogue averages.

Editor’s note The Catcher in the Rye is the book nearly everyone reads, often at school, and readers here split on Holden: it rates 7.23. His short fiction rates clearly higher — Nine Stories at 8.02 and Franny and Zooey at 7.85 — so if Catcher didn’t click, try those.
