I really enjoy the stories in this book but I'm not able to interpret them for myself. How do I get better ad this? Am I just dumb?

Just give it another read and, this time, try to think more analytical and critically, friend.
Meet me at the truck stop, the TA, on i-80 at midnight. I will instruct you

Thanks, my guy.

Also, if you're a big Salinger fanboy, such as myself, consider reading Three Early Stories.
Read more criticism.
The first story is not nearly as good as they say. But fuck me his prose is precise and delicious. The second story is spot fucking on. Salinger knows how the human mind works for sure.
Have yet to read 3-9.

I love the first story. I've just finished the fifth.

I'll probably read that once I finish this. It's my first time reading Salinger, actually.

Enjoy the ride, friend.

Read through the Glass family stories next. Incredible, incredible work.
