Good author. Too bad no one reads anything other than The Catcher In The Rye.

Thomas, I'm afraid the link is not working. Or else, it's my sluggish internet connection! 

But it's very sad news. I liked his writing.

I read on another site that there's still no hope for a Catcher in the Rye movie. Good. No living director could do it justice.

It was there in Times of India and Hindustan Times as well (Mumbai Edition).

I picked it up in the library once, it was long time ago, and I remember being so thrilled by "A Perfect Day For Bananafish".

But I have only a poor recall of the other stories, so maybe it's a good time to read it all again. : -))

Anyway, thanks for bringing it up.
