JD Salinger dies at 91
Apparently, J.D. Salinger died at the age of 91 today.
I've seen Catcher and the Rye all over this community before, so I thought this piece of news would be relevant. A moment of silence for the author of a classic (or a terrible book, your choice). Or you could just post here and say why you hate this book, because to be honest, I haven't read it.
Mods, please delete if you don't think this is relevant. Though there is a trope for it...

Again, I haven't read Catcher in the Rye, but I respect Salinger all the same--he was hailed as a great author. Good God, I should never be posting in class, I don't think when I do...
