The Life of J.D. Salinger - Comments

I was so sad to hear about this. Good article. May he rest in peace.

Oh, I'm going to miss him so much. Catcher in the Rye saved my life at one point. Also, A Perfect Day for Bananafish was just a clusterf*ck of weird that has become one my favourites.

Great article, by the way. I nearly cried.

JD Salinger pulled me out of the darkness in my freshman year. He made me feel like I wasn't alone. I owe him that.
Thank you, JD, for writing my favorite book. I will forever be greatful. Rest in peace. <3

I loved this article, I didn't even know J.D. Salinger was alive today, and it sadens me that he is now gone.
I enjoyed reading this, it made me feel like I know him more as a person.

i loved Catcher in the Rye and it's sad that he passed away, he was a great writer :)
RIP

This is an amazingly written article. :D But, don't get mad at me or anything, but I didn't like Catcher In the Rye, I couldn't stand the way he wrote it, with all the old slang and half-italicised words. I'm sure it's a good book, but I just couldn't read it with the way a lot of points were continuously repeated. When I get round to it, I'll read some more of his works, though. (:

the legends are leaving
all we're going to have left are sell-outs

this was really well-written! excellent job!

and i love catcher in the rye and the perks of being a wallflower. both really good!

Really interesting article. RIP.

"Franny and Zooey" and "Catcher" are high up on my list of favourite books. This is really sad.

Great article, though.

This caught my eye because The Catcher in the Rye is an amazing book. I've read it probably three or four times. He was an amazing writer and I've always hoped to read more of his work.

R.I.P. J. D. Salinger

RIP Salinger...

I hope that you are in heaven now and writing those great books

RIP. an amazing writer.
The Catcher in the Rye is favorite book of all time, and Franny and Zooey is very high on the list as well.
His writing is unmatched.

A lovely article. He was such a great writer. RIP.

This is really sad I loved Catcher in the Rye and also the Nine Stories. He was a great writer!

For those of you who have only read Catcher in the Rye and liked it, I strongly recommend you look into his short stories about the Glasses family. You'll get a whole new perspective on Salinger, I guarantee it!

this breaks my heart. catcher in the rye changed me. he was so brilliant.

I was truly saddened by this news. [i]Catcher in the Rye[/i] is and will always be one of my favorite books. He really was inspiring.

Beautiful article, btw.
