"What really knocks me out is a book that, when you're all done reading it, you wish the author was a terrific friend of yours and you could call him up on the phone whenever you felt like it. That doesn't happen much though"
- An American Goldenboy coming through the Rye
RIP J.D. Salinger. It may have been published decades before I was even in school, but I was in the generation that left the swords on the train, that played hookey in museums, that wanted to be a Catcher in the Rye. Simple and Extraordinary.
RIP. That generation, that voice will never die.
