Banana fishd Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 “I hope to hell that when I do die somebody has the sense to just dump me in the river or something. Anything except sticking me in a goddam cemetary. People coming and putting a bunch of flowers on your stomach on Sunday, and all that crap. Who wants flowers when you're dead? Nobody.” R.I.P to Mr salinger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soup Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 I wasn't a big fan of Salinger, but I think this means every single author of highschool english lit is dead. That's really fucking depressing. Catcher In The Rye pretty much changed the way (fiction) novels were written. They say the same thing about Ray Bradbury, or if they don't at least they should.

Realism Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 I liked his work. R.I.P. Still I wish I could get an all expenses paid trip around the world to punch all the teenagers who read Catcher and automatically think they're enlightened beyond everyone else.

schism Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 ^ agreed. rip salinger. i just picked up an old ass copy of franny and zooey for 25 cents, such a great writer. i hear he has 15 unpublished manuscripts in a safe in his house Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwampFightOner Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 Never read anything by him, as I've always associated Catcher In The Rye with "smart dumb people" Seems alot of people on here who I don't consider morons enjoy his work though, so maybe I'll read it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SystemFailure Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 News Bunch Of Phonies Mourn J.D. Salinger January 28, 2010 | Issue 46•04 Salinger CORNISH, NH—In this big dramatic production that didn't do anyone any good (and was pretty embarrassing, really, if you think about it), thousands upon thousands of phonies across the country mourned the death of author J.D. Salinger, who was 91 years old for crying out loud. "He had a real impact on the literary world and on millions of readers," said hot-shot English professor David Clarke, who is just like the rest of them, and even works at one of those crumby schools that rich people send their kids to so they don't have to look at them for four years. "There will never be another voice like his." Which is exactly the lousy kind of goddamn thing that people say, because really it could mean lots of things, or nothing at all even, and it's just a perfect example of why you should never tell anybody anything. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smart Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 You know , I tried to confirm this rumor but my interview request was declined... I pressed about the veracity of the story but I was told he had "no comment". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

samdrake123 Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 who knows. i know Salinger was asked a while back but he said no. but who knows now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Banana fishd Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 Tons of people have tried for years to make catcher in the rye a movie and they have all been denied...I figure if Salinger wanted to take Holden to the grave with him he'd be smart enough to figure out how. Who knows though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
