Salinger was a fascinating man. My book club actually chose to read Catcher in the Rye last month just before his death. Strange timing. This was a great blog post. R.I.P., indeed.

It worried me because my classmates were almost surely missing out. Which one of the heathens I had to sit next to in Freshman English might have understood something about me if they were forced to read it. But it thrilled me because I felt like I discovered it, which I think made it that much more dear to me. My rainbow striped copy is still crammed in my bookshelf and I think I like to remember reading it, all angsty and awkward, more than I would like to read it again, but I also like to think about some other awkward angsty girl reading it and feeling -- I don't know, superior for a moment, before she has to go back to class. /longest comment ever It both worried and thrilled me that I never had to read Catcher in the Rye for school.

I'm crushed. Have Chomsky and Vidal had physicals lately? How're they doing? Somebody make sure they have some tea and comfortable chairs. I worry. Salinger and Zinn in two days? I’m crushed.
