In memoriamEntry #685676
Here's one thing you won't hear in the mass media. I heard it on Mississippi's Public Radio station and nowhere else.

J. D. Salinger died yesterday at age 91.

Catcher in the Rye is one of "my" books. There are books that I read casually, and then there are what I call my "personal" books. These are books that I relate to from my inmost being. The main character, Holden Caulfield, is uniquely uninhibited, which is what I like in a character - he lets us see absolutely into his mind.

Mr. Salinger had been a recluse for a number of decades. I like to think that he has finally found what he was looking for.

Rest in peace, Mr. Salinger - thank you for what you have left us.
