Farewell to Mr. Salinger

Saturday, January 30th, 2010

JD Salinger is dead at age 91 on January 27, 2010. He was the writer of “The Catcher in the Rye,” a cult favorite of sorts that I have mixed feelings about.

I once took a Facebook quiz on which literary character you are, it came out with Holden Caulfield. Nak ng –!I am not like Holden Caulfield. It killed me. Do I strike you to be the type of guy who complains a lot, and has all this angst against the world? I am not like that! Do you see me complaining that way?!

I read The Catcherwhen, I think, I was in college. I was young but not that young that I have already a good grasp of who I am, which is probably one of the reasons that the book did not hit me as hard as others. I liked Franny and Zooey better.
