but I do think about him, or at least his works, a lot. There is a perpetual sticky note in the back of my mind that's there to remind me to go and read his un-collected stories some day. Not ten years down the road, but this year, say, or the year after that. Maybe I'll read one tonight. People are charging hundreds of dollars for bound, pirated collections of those stories:

See those jokers charging $1,000 bucks? Is anyone paying that much? I hope not. You can find them online for free or in certain libraries.
Franny and Zooey is probably the most beautiful book I've read. Talk about lost youth. Salinger is the master.
I'm thinking about him a lot today because of a facebook comment Ben made.
Also, I'm leaving the island Friday.
Love,
Jason
