JD Salinger: Dead


I hope that most of you have read Catcher in the Rye. It's one of my favorite books of all time, and I've been intending on reading it again at some point. Unfortunately, the author, JD Salinger, died yesterday of natural causes:
J.D. Salinger, the legendary author, youth hero and fugitive from fame whose "The Catcher in the Rye" shocked and inspired a world he increasingly shunned, has died. He was 91.

Salinger died of natural causes at his home on Wednesday, the author's son said in a statement from Salinger's literary representative. He had lived for decades in self-imposed isolation in the small, remote house in Cornish, N.H.
You will be missed.
