J.D. Sallinger, RIP
Jan. 28th, 2010 05:49 pmJ.D. Sallinger, the author who is best known for his novel, Catcher in the Rye, has died at age 91.
I remember reading Catcher in the Rye when I was a teenager. The book resonated with me, but not for the usual reasons. I remember, quite clearly, thinking that Holden Caufield was a prick, one of the "phonies" he took such issue with.
Ah well. Now that Sallinger is dead, want to bet that his estate authorizes an official sequel to the book?
More later. - MEL
