Literary Giant Salinger Dies; So Too Zinn

J.D. Salinger. Dead.

I so see myself becoming a recluse.

According to his biographer, the reason why Catcher in the Rye was never made into a movie was because Salinger believed if people wanted to know about it they should read it.

There you go. Screw fame and celebrity. Stay true to the craft.

Not a fan of revisionist history but Howard Zinn was a historian of note.

I can't really comment further. I've read large excerpts of his work and can't say I was overly excited about it. Maybe I'll sit and read texts in their entirety one day.
