JD Salinger

J.D. Salinger died at age 91 yesterday.  As a literature lover who enjoyed Catcher In the Rye (all the way back in 10th grade!), I felt compelled to add this bit of news here.  Kurt Vonnegut died not that long ago too.  I think John Updike also.  It's not been a good time for male authors!

EDIT: A link to a piece on how Salinger's Haulden Caufield influenced modern culture in so many ways.
