R.I.P., J.D.

J.D. Salinger, the author of The Catcher in the Rye, passed away on Wednesday.

Can't say that we'll miss him because we never knew him, as he lived the last 44 years of his life as a recluse in Cornish, N.H. The great irony of his death is that he'll probably become better "known" than in his life.

Expect to read unpublished Salinger stories and previously unauthorized Salinger biographies in the near future.

A Catcher movie, you ask? I can't believe that Salinger didn't go to his grave with an iron clad legal document in place to prevent such a project.
