J.D. Salinger

Jenna had posted a link on our talk page about an article written about J.D. Salinger. It was so amazing to read about how Catcher in the Rye was written as an autobiography. I think everyone should read the article. It's really informative, and personally I found it touching.

I was browsing the web looking at things about J.D. Salinger and found out he died two days before my birthday of this year (January 27). I have been strangely emotional lately and this made me shed a few tears. Pathetic I know.

Well here is the link. Just copy and paste. Thanks Jenna!

  1. I completely agree. I usually get bored reading articles that are more than one or two pages, but I found it really interesting to read the connections between the two.

  2. I know I looked through to see how long it was and I was like "Ugh I don't want to read this!" but I got so enthralled :D
