Is there anyone who has not read The Catcher In The Rye?

"Boy, when you're dead, they really fix you up. I hope to hell when I do die somebody has sense enough to just dump me in the river or something. Anything except sticking me in a goddam cemetery. People coming and putting a bunch of flowers on your stomach on Sunday, and all that crap. Who wants flowers when you're ...dead? Nobody." The Catcher in the Rye, Chapter 20

I'm the goddamned Governor's son.

 

[Dr Skimeister]

Been a rumor for years that a trove of unreleased works will be published upon his death.

RIP

One of my all time favorite books.

Holden Caulfield in Chapter 3

R.I.P. Another sad author death.

Bless Holden Caulfield. He would doubtless find everyone here in this online forum a phony and or hypocrite.

We're all hypocrites...we're human.

I had a crush on Holden when I was in high school.

Thank you, Mr. Salinger. What a great book.
