Sad indeed. And thanks for the link, David.

He's also an inspiration to some writers because of his passion to write. Just like Hunter Thompson and Chuck Palahniuk, he wrote a novel that marked to everyone. But, I've always thought the two were better articulators of the fallacy of the modern world.  I do always appreciate a good literary slap in the face to the emptiness of the status quo, though – so may Salinger Rest in Peace.  I didn't care too much for Catcher in the Rye, or Holden Caufield, but I understand the book's impact, and note the sadness at the passing of JD Salinger.  I'm not going to get payday loans to buy his collected works – and I think teen angst, or dissatisfaction with the picture of the world was better channeled by others, in my opinion.

Uhu... nice try. Try again somewhere else if you want to keep that link untouched, dear.
