Because I am slightly drunk, I thought that I would respond to the Pine Fox (He puts the WHORE in HORrifying, I mean that in the best possible way) and say that yes, people do read Salinger other than Catcher In The Rye. When I was in high school, I was quite fond of Franny & Zooey and indeed liked it better than Catcher in the Rye. Then I lent it to my 10th grade European history teacher and went to Japan (while in Japan I took Nine Stories out of the library and read it, odd that they would have Nine Stories in the library in Saga-shi, Japan, isn't it?) and never saw it again. I recently replaced the book and started to read it again, but I realized that since I'm no longer a private school discontent teenager it just doesn't have the same appeal (at least the "Franny" part). But then, that's just growing up. Also, Bring It On was the best movie of 2000. The Academy really fucked up this year (although I swear if Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon doesn't win all the awards it's up for, heads will roll!). Bring It On's the poo, Courtney, take a big whiff. Also, if Belle & Sebastian is in Hoboken, why are they not playing DDR with me? Je ne sais pas! xoxo Julie PS: I once had such a vivid dream that J.D. Salinger was releasing a new book that I believed it was true for two years. It wasn't true. P F said:
Does anyone read Salinger *other than* The Catcher in the Rye nowadays? I suppose the answer is yes: but me, I have taken a good old time, my own sour time you may say, getting round to it. Does Franny & Zooey have any fans
