Catcher In The Rye was an alright book, I don't believe it warranted a sequel by someone completely unrelated to him. I was surprised he was alive too.
Didn't his manuscript for the followup vanish in a suspicious fire?

What's to hate about Catcher in the Rye? The only minor problem I had was that I had so many different expecations, what with murderers carrying it around. But that was also part of the greatness. You're just waiting for this kid to freak the fuck out and kill someone but he never does.
I just finished Nine Stories. "Teddy" especially is fantastic.
Everything the dude writes (wrote) is wonderful. Master of conversation. With himself, anyway.
