I had some friends on facebook making reference to JD Salinger and upon Googling I see he has passed away at the age of 91, sad stuff but a fact of life I suppose: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/jesse-kor ... 40569.html

Catcher in the Rye remains my favourite novel (one of only a few which I could be bothered reading, never mind finishing, I am not terribly into arts) of all time. :)

Cheers,
Alex

I enjoyed his writing.

His dedication "This book is dedicated to those who read for fun" (paraphrasing) in Franny & Zooey or Raise High the Roofbeams, Carpenters is still one of my favorite lines.
