Interpolic Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 I finally read Catcher in the Rye last summer and loved it, really identified with it. I've read a bit about the author as well, interesting character to say the least. RIP. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GM Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 Salinger was an author whose large reputation pivots on very little. The first of his published stories that he thought were good enough to preserve between covers appeared in the New Yorker in 1948. Sixteen years later he placed one last story there and drew down the shades.

I mean, I tried: but it just didn't interest me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Segun Oluwaniyi Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 It's a very good book. I read the whole thing one day about five years ago on a flight across the Atlantic Ocean and I still remember it quite fondly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 I'll be God damned if I knew he was even still alive. Before he died, I mean. Catcher in the Rye seemed like a good book back in school, though. RIP. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interpolic Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 Bollocks would Lennon still be alive. Nutters thrive on any excuse, any influence - it's rubbish to suggest that mental case wouldn't have murdered Lennon without the influence of CITR - I would be surprised if Keefaz and billytray genuinely think that's the case. If it wasn't CITR it would be some other shit, he'd have done it either way in all likelihood. Plus I don't get how the fuck he was influenced to kill John Lennon after reading that book, doesn't make sense - does anyone else actually get that?

Marck Chapman was jealous of John lennon because he didn't become famous and Lennon was. He's fucked up in the head basically Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
