J.D. Salinger died on Wednesday. He was very old and I imagine quite kooky. There were rumors that he drank his own urine and practiced many other strange Buddhist rituals (Just kidding, I'm very open-minded when it comes to wacky and weird religions). His daughter wrote a book in 2000 and painted a picture of a cranky old man living in a house with the windows and doors all locked up. There have been a few movies made with him in mind (The character played by James Earl Jones,Terrance Mann, was based on him. As was the whole Finding Forrester movie).
Like so many other phonies, I read The Catcher in the Rye in high school and I liked it. I actually probably liked a bit too much. I still like it now and am teaching it in my American Lit class. I just thought I should at least acknowledge that he is no longer alive...and maybe now we'll get some of the stuff he wrote after 1965. Maybe not.

Whoa. I read it, like, 77X in high school. Why, after my accident, I was labled a MissFitt and a pariah (still am by most of U.S.) Who the #@!! cares anymore when we have an everlasting God who loves us no matter who we are and what we dress like? I encourage you to reeed our blogs (like Abraham in the basket) with your whole heart, my friend, and know that we are still only mortal. Meet me Upstairs, bud. God bless you.
