JD Salinger passed away today on 28th January 2010 at the age of 91 at his home in New Hampshire. He inspired a whole generation and gave birth a to a new genre, influencing the works of Kerouac, Ginsberg & Burroughs, and my good friend Markus Zusak, who was responsible for giving me my first copy of Catcher In The Rye when I was 16.

Salinger & Zusak both helped me to understand that I was not alone in my wry, cynical view of society and that I had companions in both. For a novel so bleak and some say pointless, I found great comfort. Another novelist friend of mine, TJ, posed that Catcher is like the literary version of Seinfeld; essentially a Book about Nothing, but under the surface, there is so much more going on.

Well, sir, for someone famous for not wanting to be famous, I bid thee farewell.

What I was really hanging around for, I was trying to feel some kind of a good-by. I mean Ive left schools and places I didnt even know I was leaving them. I hate that. I dont care if its a sad good-by or a bad good-by, but when I leave a place I like to know Im leaving it. If you dont, you feel even worse
