RIP JD Salinger
Posted: Sat Jan 30, 10 12:07 amIn case you didn't know, the author of one of the most popular books (also one of my personal favorites), Catcher in the Rye, died a couple days ago.

Posted: Sun Jan 31, 10 11:45 pmI am ashamed to admit it but catcher in the rye is one of the few must read books that I actually havent even opened. Someone recently gave me one exemplar, before JD passed away. I bet lot of people who find themselves in the same position as me will read that book now that weve heard of his passing.

Posted: Sun Jan 31, 10 11:53 pmPerhaps its a little late to completely understand it, then. Ive heard about its influence, but its quite something for a young author to create something of such an impact on his age group.
