wow nice 91.... I don't think I'm gonna be alive by then. Have yet read the book but I've heard good things and i'll read it one of these days.CoolSkAGuy
[QUOTE="solid_mario"]Link Here I love that book. This is a shame, at least he got a long life. death is not a shame. without death life would not exist like we know it.. and without death there may be no such concept as life. SO. take it for what it is.

I was just suggesting an alternative to sadness.. perhaps we should feel joy.. for this man got to live a long, full life.. what more could one ask for?

50 years from today, a movie will be made on The Catcher in the Rye. Finally. I thought I'd be dead before hand. Rumor is he was working on one great novel all this time. Maybe it'll be released.

According to the article he never stopped writing. He is meant to have a safe with 15 novels in it.
To those saying they loved his book, he wrote a lot more stuff. He has three published collections of short stories and tons more of them. I'm reading Nine Stories right now, it's pretty great. The man lived a controversial life, but he was a great writer. Hopefully nobody ever makes a Catcher in the Rye movie.
I absolutely despise The Catcher in the Rye, but I did get the chance to meet J.D. Salinger once and he was really an amazing guy, though I was too young to know it at the time. He will be missed by millions - I'm not sure there is much more a person can hope for in life.
What I really want to know though, is if he really does have a stack of unpublished manuscripts hidden in his mysterious house, and am curious to see if they will ever be published.
Catcher is one of my favorite books. Holden is a great character despite his repulsive personality. A great depiction of an immature person undergoing a rough development.
WOW! How incredibly ironic!! In English class, we litteraly just started reading that book today. like we just got the books passed out and everything. WOW! straaange!
I was never a fan of the book, but that sucks he died. I thought someone else wrote a Catcher in the rye sequel recently.

They did; it's called Sixty Years Later: Coming Through the Rye. It's banned in the United States because Salinger sued the author, but it's still sold in the UK.

I hear it's absolutely horrible.
Yeah I remember it being sold at the bookshop I worked at in England.
