May you live forever, J.D. Salinger

Many of you are probably familiar with J.D. Salinger. I know I am. He wrote my favorite book: Catcher in the Rye, and created my favorite literary character: Holden Caulfield. The author of one of the greatest American literary works died yesterday, January 27th (on my birthday, of all days), at the age of 91. Read more about him here.
