QuoteAmerican novelist JD Salinger, author of classic 20th Century book The Catcher in the Rye, has died aged 91.
The reclusive writer died of natural causes at his home in the state of New Hampshire, his son said.
Him I've heard of. :cry:
:( He was angsty before it was cool to be angsty.
He let Yoko Ono live WTF
By all accounts, he's been writing the entire time.
Let's hope so, and let's hope his family chooses to bring it all to the light of day.
RIP

CORNISH, NH—In this big dramatic production that didn't do anyone any good (and was pretty embarrassing, really, if you think about it), thousands upon thousands of phonies across the country mourned the death of author J.D. Salinger, who was 91 years old for crying out loud. "He had a real impact on the literary world and on millions of readers," said hot-shot English professor David Clarke, who is just like the rest of them, and even works at one of those crumby schools that rich people send their kids to so they don't have to look at them for four years. "There will never be another voice like his." Which is exactly the lousy kind of goddamn thing that people say, because really it could mean lots of things, or nothing at all even, and it's just a perfect example of why you should never tell anybody anything.
Man how I hated Catcher In The Rye.
RIP you crazy old dude.
I don't want to be negative in a RIP thread though. I know many people found his work to be very good.
So RIP Salinger.
Catcher in the Rye must have been one of the worst books I've had the misfortune to read.
I can understand you'd like it if you are a an 11 year old fucktard, otherwise it's just a badly written nonsenscical piece of shit with way to much gay inuendo.
File under "people I thought were dead already".
