    It was just announced that author J.D. Salinger has died at the age of 91. Aside from being an extremely interesting, enigmatic figure, he was the man who wrote “The Catcher In The Rye”. I first read “Catcher” when I was 16 years old and have re-read it practically every winter since. It is the one book I can honestly say I relate to more than any other piece of literature. There’s a much longer blog I could [and will] write on this, but for now I’d just like to acknowledge a great man and great writer who gave the world the great American novel and then disappeared into the woods, in true Holden Caulfield fashion.
R.I.P. Mr. Salinger. Don’t ever tell anybody anything. If you do, you start missing everybody.
