As a non-adolescent, it may not do much for you.

I remember that I felt that his stories (Franny and Zooey, A Perfect Day for Bananafish etc.) were better than Catcher.

If you enjoy Catcher, you may also want to read the early stuff from John Updike, if you haven't read them already. He was influenced by Salinger, and the characters were a bit older.
