ReplyDeleteSuch an enigma, that one.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your writing, J.D.
RIP.
Sad, though I honestly didn't realize he was still alive. Love his works!
ReplyDeleteWhat Clanger said.
ReplyDeletewow, 91. to paraphrase jonathan swift, i hope he lived all the days of his life.
ReplyDeleterip.

ReplyDeleteThis was one mysterious cat.
ReplyDeleteDitto what Julie said.
ReplyDeleteR.I.P. J.D.
ReplyDeleteAny word on all those post-Catcher novels he reputedly kept in a safe to be published after he died?
ReplyDeletePERSONALLY I THOUGHT HE WOULD LIVE FOREVER...JUST SO HE COULD KEEP ON SUING OTHER AUTHORS AND FAMILY MEMBERS....LET THE BIOGRAPHIES BEGIN....THESE SHOULD BE JUICY ...
ReplyDeleteHE WAS ONE WEIRD GUY...
Oh no!! And he just had his 91st birthday recently. :(
ReplyDeleteGosh, I love the way he writes.
I'm sure Harvey Wienstein is drooling over getting his paws to the rights of Catcher in the Rye.
ReplyDeleteNow he will finally have a way to get Blake Lively into Bed.
Holden Caufield has a sex change!
I'm so sad.
ReplyDeleteCatcher in the Rye is my favorite book.
=(
Great author, but crazies really resonated with his work. He was smart he keep out of the limelight and had the life he wanted.
ReplyDeleteAnother hero gone...I started writing after reading "Catcher in the Rye"...why don't people write like that anymore?

ReplyDeletesorrow.
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear that he's gone, but I'm sure I'll be alone on this site when I say I wasn't a big fan of 'that book'.
ReplyDeleteRIP. Goodbye Holden. You certainly left your mark.
ReplyDeleteOnly read Catcher in the Rye recently when I picked the book up for a dime at a rummage sale. Best dime I spent - I loved that book.
ReplyDelete91 seems like a ripe old age yet my grandma is 90 and now it seems too soon.
Babs,
ReplyDeleteI was not a fan of the book either. Even when I was younger and rebellious, it just didn't "click" for me.
You guys should read the book by his ex-girlfriend. I can't remember the name of the book but her name was Joyce Maynard. This guy was a pedophile. Loved his work but he was f'n creepy.
ReplyDeleteYou mean I'm not the only person who read Catcher in the Rye as a teenager & thought Holden Caufield was a jackass? ;-) Not to speak ill of the dead, but that & A Confederacy of Dunces are 2 novels I've never been able to get through (in the latter's case, I barely got through the first chapter or 2), just because the protagonists worked my nerves so badly. *sigh*
ReplyDeleteThank you farmgirl, I agree.
ReplyDeleteI love Salinger. I admit I cried a little when I heard. I thought his writing was exquisite. I am a writer, and when I first read Nine Stories, I laughed because there is no way in hell I would EVER write that well. Ever. Such genius.
RIP J.D.
RIP JD
ReplyDeleteCatcher in the Rye was one of my favorites in high school.
RIP, J.D.
ReplyDeleteI hope you find peace.
