if you're reading this, you're not illiterate (repost from myspace)

september 21, 2006:

Most people consider JD Salinger to be one of the Great Authors of the past century, on par with Fitzgerald and Kerouac. Insightful, challenging, intelligent. So please tell me why no one has read Franny & Zooey? Im about 3/4 done with it and all i want is a little bit of literary discussion with one or more of my peers who has read it.

Also a surprising number of peers questioned have not read Catcher in the Rye. Now, i personally think it stinks, and cannot recommend that any of your punish yourselves by reading it at this stage in life, but come on! Isnt it required reading for every high-school english class, coast-to-coast, since the 1960s? Everyone talks about how great an auther he is, but it must be because no one's effing read anything by him.

Don't be sheep!
